Page 253 highlights

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL RADIUS management 17 If the switch database is selected as primary, there is no secondary option. The RADIUS server cannot be configured as a backup for the switch user login database. When the primary AAA service is RADIUS, you have three secondary service choices: • None • Switch Database when RADUIS authorization fails • Switch Database when RADIUS times out When RADIUS login fails, even though RADIUS server is available, the additional service allows you the option to use the Switch Database as backup authentication service when the RADIUS server is not available. Alternatively, you can have no secondary AAA service, which means that only the primary service is used for authentication. Use the AAA Service tab of the Switch Administration window to manage RADIUS. Enabling and disabling RADIUS At least one RADIUS server must be configured before you can enable RADIUS. Use the following procedure to enable or disable RADIUS. 1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in "Opening the Switch Administration window" on page 35. 2. Select the AAA Service tab. 3. To enable RADIUS, select RADIUS from the Primary AAA Service drop-down menu. 4. Select None, Switch Database when RADIUS Login Failed, or Switch Database when RADIUS Login Timeout from the Secondary AAA Service menu. NOTE To disable RADIUS, select Switch Database from the Primary AAA Service menu and select None from the Secondary AAA Service menu. 5. Click Apply. Configuring RADIUS The configuration is chassis-based, so it applies to all logical switches (domains) on the switch and it is replicated on a standby CP, if one is present. It is saved in a configuration upload, and can be applied to other switches in a configuration download. You should configure at least two RADIUS servers so that if one fails, the other server assumes the service. You can configure RADIUS even if it is disabled. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. You must be logged in as admin, switchadmin, or securityadmin to configure RADIUS. Use the following procedure to configure RADIUS. 1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in "Opening the Switch Administration window" on page 35. 2. Select the AAA Service tab. 3. Click Add.

RADIUS management
17
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
If the switch database is selected as primary, there is no secondary option. The RADIUS server
cannot be configured as a backup for the switch user login database.
When the primary AAA service is RADIUS, you have three secondary service choices:
None
Switch Database when RADUIS authorization fails
Switch Database when RADIUS times out
When RADIUS login fails, even though RADIUS server is available, the additional service allows you
the option to use the Switch Database as backup authentication service when the RADIUS server is
not available. Alternatively, you can have no secondary AAA service, which means that only the
primary service is used for authentication.
Use the
AAA Service
tab of the
Switch Administration
window to manage RADIUS.
Enabling and disabling RADIUS
At least one RADIUS server must be configured before you can enable RADIUS.
Use the following procedure to enable or disable RADIUS.
1.
Open the
Switch Administration
window as described in
“Opening the Switch Administration
window”
on page 35.
2.
Select the

Configuring RADIUS
The configuration is chassis-based, so it applies to all logical switches (domains) on the switch and
it is replicated on a standby CP, if one is present. It is saved in a configuration upload, and can be
applied to other switches in a configuration download. You should configure at least two RADIUS
servers so that if one fails, the other server assumes the service.
You can configure RADIUS even if it is disabled. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. You
must be logged in as admin, switchadmin, or securityadmin to configure RADIUS.
Use the following procedure to configure RADIUS.
1.
Open the
Switch Administration
window as described in
“Opening the Switch Administration
