Configuring the RADIUS server The configuration is chassis-based, so it applies to all logical switches (domains) on the switch and replicates itself on a standby CP, if one is present. It is saved in a configuration upload, and so it 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 assumes service. You can configure the RADIUS server even if it is disabled. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. You must be logged in as admin or switchAdmin to configure the RADIUS server. To configure the RADIUS server 1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 36. 2. Click the AAA Service tab. 3. Click Add. The RADIUS Configuration dialog box opens. NOTE: You can configure up to five RADIUS servers. If five RADIUS servers are already configured, the Add button is disabled. 4. Enter the RADIUS server name, which is a valid IP address or Dynamic Name Server (DNS) string.
