• Defining a AAA Method List to be Used for RADIUS (mandatory) • Applying the Method List to Terminal Lines (mandatory except when using default lists) • Specifying a RADIUS Server Host (mandatory) • Setting Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts (optional) • Monitoring RADIUS (optional) For a complete listing of supported RADIUS commands, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Reference Guide. NOTE: RADIUS authentication and authorization are done in a single step. Hence, authorization cannot be used independent of authentication. However, if you have configured RADIUS authorization and have not configured authentication, a message is logged stating this. During authorization, the next method in the list (if present) is used, or if another method is not present, an error is reported. To view the configuration, use the show config in LINE mode or the show running-config command in EXEC Privilege mode. Defining a AAA Method List to be Used for RADIUS To configure RADIUS to authenticate or authorize users on the system, create a AAA method list. Default method lists do not need to be explicitly applied to the line, so they are not mandatory. To create a method list, use the following commands. • Enter a text string (up to 16 characters long) as the name of the method list you wish to use with the RADIUS authentication method. CONFIGURATION mode aaa authentication login method-list-name radius • Create a method list with RADIUS and TACACS+ as authorization methods. CONFIGURATION mode aaa authorization exec {method-list-name | default} radius tacacs+ Typical order of methods: RADIUS, TACACS+, Local, None. If RADIUS denies authorization, the session ends (RADIUS must not be the last method specified). Applying the Method List to Terminal Lines To enable RADIUS AAA login authentication for a method list, apply it to a terminal line. To configure a terminal line for RADIUS authentication and authorization, use the following commands. • Enter LINE mode. CONFIGURATION mode line {aux 0 | console 0 | vty number [end-number]} • Enable AAA login authentication for the specified RADIUS method list. LINE mode login authentication {method-list-name | default} This procedure is mandatory if you are not using default lists. Security 994
