Configuring the NMS Server Software

The Extreme Management Center and Ridgeline include a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server that you can use for NMS server authentication. To configure this server, do the following:

  1. Add the IP address of each Extreme Network Virtualization (XNV)-enabled switch as a RADIUS client.
  2. Add each VM MAC address as a username (in upper case and should not contain semicolon) and add the MAC address as the password.
  3. Add a remote access policy with the Extreme Networks VSAs:
    • Vendor code: 1916
    • VSA ID: 213 (EXTREME_VM_NAME)

      Example: MyVM1

    • VSA ID: 214 (EXTREME_VM_VPP_NAME)

      Example: nvpp1

    • VSA ID: 215 (EXTREME_VM_IP_ADDR)

      Example: 11.1.1.254
