Enabling and Disabling the RADIUS Client Service

The RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) client service can be enabled or disabled without affecting the client configuration. When the client service is disabled, the client does not communicate with the RADIUS server, so authentication must take place through the another service such as the local database or a TACACS+ server.

Note

You cannot use RADIUS and TACACS+ at the same time.

To enable the RADIUS client service, use the following command:
enable radius {mgmt-access | netlogin}
To disable the RADIUS client service, use the following command:
disable radius {mgmt-access | netlogin}

If you do not specify the mgmt-access or netlogin keywords, RADIUS authentication is enabled or disabled on the switch for both management and network login.
