RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
Switch Operating Rules for RADIUS
Switch Operating Rules for RADIUS
You must have at least one RADIUS server accessible to the switch.
The switch supports authentication and accounting using up to three
RADIUS servers. The switch accesses the servers in the order in
which they are listed by show radius (page 5-25). If the first server does
not respond, the switch tries the next one, and so-on. (To change the
order in which the switch accesses RADIUS servers, refer to
“Changing RADIUS-Server Access Order” on page 5-29.)
You can select RADIUS as the primary authentication method for each
type of access. (Only one primary and one secondary access method
is allowed for each access type.)
In the ProCurve switch, EAP RADIUS uses MD5 and TLS to encrypt
a response to a challenge from a RADIUS server.
