ProSafe® Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switches Software Administration Manual RADIUS RADIUS servers provide additional security for networks. The RADIUS server maintains a user database, which contains per-user authentication information. The switch passes information to the configured RADIUS server, which can authenticate a user name and password before authorizing use of the network. RADIUS servers provide a centralized authentication method for: • Web Access • Access Control Port (802.1X) The RADIUS folder contains links to the following features: • Global Configuration on page 433 • RADIUS Server Configuration on page 435 • Accounting Server Configuration on page 438 Global Configuration Use the RADIUS Configuration page to add information about one or more RADIUS servers on the network. To access the RADIUS Configuration page, click Security  Management Security  RADIUS  Radius Configuration. The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see "RADIUS Server Configuration" on page 6-435). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS servers. If more than one RADIUS servers are configured, the current server is the server configured as the primary server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the current server is the most recently added RADIUS server. Chapter 6. Managing Device Security | 433
