How to change a RADIUS server configuration

Page 81 highlights

How to change a RADIUS server configuration 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter this command: switch:admin> aaaConfig --change server [-p port] [-s secret] [-t timeout] [-a pap | chap] server Servers are listed by either name or IP address. Enter either the name or IP address of the server to be changed. -p port Optionally, enter a server port. -s secret Optionally, enter a shared secret. -t timeout Optionally, enter the length of time (in seconds) the server has to respond before the next server is contacted. -a[pap|chap]p Specify PAP, CHAP or PEAP as authentication protocol. Use eap-mschapv2 peap-mschapv2 to provide encrypted authentication channel between switch and server. NOTE: Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an authentication protocol used to authenticate users and clients. It is based on Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). When PEAP is configured on the switch, clients running Fabric Manager cannot authenticate. How to change the order in which RADIUS servers are contacted for service 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 2. Enter this command: switch:admin> aaaConfig --move server to_position server Servers are listed by either name or IP address. Enter either the name or IP address of the server whose position is to be changed. to_positio Enter the position number to which the server is to be moved. n When the command succeeds, the event log indicates that a server configuration is changed. Enabling and disabling local authentication as backup It is useful to enable local authentication so that the switch can take over authentication locally if the RADIUS servers fail to respond because of power outage or network problems. To enable or disable local authentication, enter the appropriate command: switch:admin> aaaConfig -radiuslocalbackup For details about this command and how it is different from aaaConfig -radiuslocal, see Table 12 on page 65. When local authentication is enabled and RADIUS servers fail to respond, you can log in to the default switch accounts (admin and user) or any user-defined account. You must know the passwords of these accounts. When the command succeeds, the event log indicates that local database authentication is disabled or enabled. Fabric OS 5.3.0 administrator guide 83

How to change a RADIUS server configuration
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
Enter this command:
NOTE:
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an authentication protocol used to
authenticate users and clients. It is based on Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and Transport Layer
Security (TLS).
When PEAP is configured on the switch, clients running Fabric Manager cannot authenticate.
How to change the order in which RADIUS servers are contacted for service
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as
admin
.
2.
Enter this command:
When the command succeeds, the event log indicates that a server configuration is changed.
Enabling and disabling local authentication as backup
It is useful to enable local authentication so that the switch can take over authentication locally if the
RADIUS servers fail to respond because of power outage or network problems. To enable or disable local
authentication, enter the appropriate command:
For details about this command and how it is different from
aaaConfig –radiuslocal
, see
Table 12
on page 65.
When local authentication is enabled and RADIUS servers fail to respond, you can log in to the default
switch accounts (
admin
and
user
) or any user-defined account. You must know the passwords of these
accounts.
When the command succeeds, the event log indicates that local database authentication is disabled or
enabled.
