GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switches 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 menu contains links to features described in the following sections: • Global Configuration • RADIUS Server Configuration • Accounting Server Configuration Global Configuration Use the RADIUS Configuration screen to add information about one or more RADIUS servers on the network.  To configure global RADIUS server settings: 1. Select Security > Management Security > RADIUS > Global Configuration. The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see RADIUS Server Configuration ). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS servers. If more than one RADIUS server is 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. 2. In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the maximum number of times a request packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server. The valid range is 1-15 and the default is 3. 3. In the Timeout Duration field, specify the time-out value, in seconds, for request retransmissions. The valid range is 1-30 seconds and the default is 3 seconds. Consideration to maximum delay time must be given when configuring RADIUS maximum retransmit and RADIUS time-out. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the maximum retransmit value on each is exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit does not occur until the configured time-out value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times * time-out) for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request is generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces are blocked until the RADIUS application returns a response. 4. From the Accounting Mode list, select whether the RADIUS accounting mode is enabled or disabled on the current server. 5. Click APPLY. Configuration changes take effect immediately. RADIUS Server Configuration Use the RADIUS Server Configuration screen to view and configure various settings for the current RADIUS server configured on the system. 118

GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switches
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 menu contains links to features described in the following sections:
•
Global Configuration
•
RADIUS Server Configuration
•
Accounting Server Configuration
Global Configuration
Use the RADIUS Configuration screen to add information about one or more RADIUS
servers on the network.
To configure global RADIUS server settings:
1.
Select
Security > Management Security > RADIUS > Global Configuration.
The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see
RADIUS
Server Configuration
). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS servers. If
more than one RADIUS server is 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.
2.
In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the maximum number of times a request
packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server. The valid range is 1-15 and the default is 3.
3.
In the Timeout Duration field, specify the time-out value, in seconds, for request
retransmissions. The valid range is 1-30 seconds and the default is 3 seconds.
Consideration to maximum delay time must be given when configuring RADIUS
maximum retransmit and RADIUS time-out. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured,
the maximum retransmit value on each is exhausted before the next server is attempted.
A retransmit does not occur until the configured time-out value on that server has passed
without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving
a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times * time-out)
for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request is generated by a user login attempt, all
user interfaces are blocked until the RADIUS application returns a response.
4.
From the Accounting Mode list, select whether the RADIUS accounting mode is enabled or
disabled on the current server.
5.
Click
APPLY
.
Configuration changes take effect immediately.
RADIUS Server Configuration
Use the RADIUS Server Configuration screen to view and configure various settings for the
current RADIUS server configured on the system.
