Configuring RADIUS security

You can use a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server to secure the following
types of access to the device:
•
•
•
•
NOTE
The device does not support RADIUS security for SNMP (IronView Network Manager) access.

RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting

When RADIUS authentication is implemented, the device consults a RADIUS server to verify user
names and passwords. You can optionally configure RADIUS authorization, in which the device
consults a list of commands supplied by the RADIUS server to determine whether a user can
execute a command he or she has entered, as well as accounting, which causes the device to log
information on a RADIUS accounting server when specified events occur on the device.
NOTE
By default, a user logging into the device through Telnet or SSH first enters the User EXEC level. The
user can then enter the enable command to get to the Privileged EXEC level.
A user that is successfully authenticated can be automatically placed at the Privileged EXEC level
after login. Refer to
RADIUS authentication
