4. Enter the RADIUS Host IP Address(es)
If you select either eap-radius or chap-radius for the authentication method,
configure the switch to use 1, 2, or 3 RADIUS servers for authentication. The
following syntax shows the basic commands. For coverage of all commands
related to RADIUS server configuration, refer to chapter 5, "RADIUS Authen
tication and Accounting".
Syntax:
radius host < ip-address >
Adds a server to the RADIUS configuration.
[key < server-specific key-string >]
Optional. Specifies an encryption key for use during
authentication (or accounting) sessions with the spec
ified server. This key must match the key used on the
RADIUS server. Use this option only if the specified
server requires a different key than configured for the
global encryption key.
Syntax:
radius-server key < global key-string >
Specifies the global encryption key the switch uses for
sessions with servers for which the switch does not have
a server-specific key. This key is optional if all RADIUS
server addresses configured in the switch include a
server- specific encryption key.
5. Enable 802.1X Authentication on the Switch
After configuring 802.1X authentication as described in the preceding four
sections, activate it with this command:
Syntax:
aaa port-access authenticator active
Activates 802.1X port-access on ports you have configured
as authenticators.
Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X)
Configuring Switch Ports as 802.1X Authenticators
