Parameter
accounting: Configures to set/delete the authentication key for the RADIUS
accounting packet.
authentication: Configures to set/delete the encryption key for RADIUS
authentication/authorization packet.
string: Specifies the key with a character string not exceeding 16 characters. By
default, the key is “3Com”.
Description
Use the key command to configure encryption key for RADIUS
authentication/authorization or accounting packet. Use the
undo key command
to restore the default key.
RADIUS client (Switch) and RADIUS server use MD5 algorithm to hash the
exchanged packets. The two ends verify the packet through setting the key. Only
when the keys are identical can both ends accept the packets from each other and
give responses. So it is necessary to ensure that the keys set on the Switch and the
RADIUS server are identical. If the authentication/authorization and accounting are
performed on two different servers with different keys, you should set two keys
respectively.
