Configuring RADIUS
You can secure login or Enable mode access to the SSR by enabling a Remote
Authentication Dial-In Service (RADIUS) client. A RADIUS server responds to the SSR
RADIUS client to provide authentication.
You can configure up to five RADIUS server targets on the SSR. A timeout is set to tell the
SSR how long to wait for a response from RADIUS servers.
To configure RADIUS security, enter the following commands in Configure mode:
Specify a RADIUS server.
radius set server <hostname or IP-addr>
Set the RADIUS time to wait for a
RADIUS server reply.
radius set timeout
<number>
Determine the SSR action if no
server responds.
