radius-server-policy

Creates an onboard device RADIUS server policy. A RADIUS server policy is a unique authentication and authorization configuration that receives user connection requests, authenticates users, and returns configuration information necessary for the RADIUS client to deliver service to the user. The client is the entity with authentication information requiring validation. The local RADIUS server has access to a database of authentication information used to validate the client's authentication request.

The local RADIUS server uses authentication schemes like PAP, CHAP, or EAP to verify and confirm information provided by a user. The user's proof of identification is verified, along with, optionally, other information. A local RADIUS server policy can also be configured to refer to an external (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) (LDAP) resource to verify a user's credentials.

Use the (config) instance to configure RADIUS-Server-Policy related parameters. To navigate to the RADIUS-Server-Policy instance, use the following commands:

<DEVICE>(config)#radius-server-policy <POLICY-NAME>
nx9500-6C8809(config)#radius-server-policy test
nx9500-6C8809(config-radius-server-policy-test)#?
