Enables the RADIUS authentication feature globally.

MaxNumberServer

Specifies the maximum number of servers to be used, between 1 and 10, inclusive.

AccessPriorityAttrValue

AcctEnable

Enables RADIUS accounting.

AcctAttriValue

Specific to RADIUS accounting. Specifies the vendor-specific attribute value of the CLI-command attribute to match the type value set in the dictionary file on the RADIUS server. This value must be different from the access-priority attribute value configured for authentication. The valid values are 192 through 240. The default value is 193.

AcctIncludeCli

Specifies whether you want CLI commands included in RADIUS accounting requests.

ClearStat

Clears RADIUS statistics from the device.

McastAttributeValue

Specifies the value of the Mcast attribute. The valid values are 0 through 255. The default value is 90.

AuthInfoAttrValue

Specifies the value of the authentication information attribute. The valid values are 0 through 255. The default value is 91.

CommandAccessAttrValue

Specifies the value of the command access attribute. The valid values are 192 through 240. The default value is 194.

CliCommandAttrValue

Specifies the value of the CLI command attribute. The valid values are 192 through 240. The default value is 195.

AuthInvalidServerAddress

SourceIpFlag

Note:

Exception: only supported on VSP 8600 Series.

CliProfEnable

Enables RADIUS CLI profiling.

SupportedVendorIds

Shows the vendor IDs that the software supports for RADIUS.

RadiusReachability

Specifies the mode for RADIUS reachability. Status-server mode provides a standard-compliant method for RADIUS reachability. Use-radius mode requires the configuration of dummy packets that are sent to RADIUS servers. The default is use-radius mode.

SecureEnable

Enable RADIUS Security (RADSec).

UserName

Specifies the username for RADIUS server reachability. The default is extremenetworks.

Password

Specifies the password for RADIUS server reachability. The default is extremenetworks.

Confirm Password

Confirms the password for RADIUS server reachability.

Unreachable Timer

Specifies, in seconds, the interval between checks when radius server is unreachable. The default is 60 seconds.

Keep Alive Timer
