Description

Configures the authentication string used to communicate with the RADIUS accounting server.

Syntax Description

mgmt-access Specifies the switch management RADIUS accounting server.
netlogin Specifies the network login RADIUS accounting server.
primary Configures the authentication string for the primary RADIUS accounting server.
secondary Configures the authentication string for the secondary RADIUS accounting server.
encrypted Indicates that the string is already encrypted.
secret The string to be used for authentication. Maximum length of 32 characters.

Default

Unconfigured.

Usage Guidelines

The secret must be the same between the client switch and the RADIUS accounting server.

The mgmt-access keyword specifies the RADIUS accounting server used for switch management.

The netlogin keyword specifies the RADIUS accounting server used for network login.

If you do not specify the mgmt-access or netlogin keywords, the secret applies to both the primary or secondary switch management and netlogin RADIUS accounting servers.

The encrypted keyword is primarily for the output of the show configuration command, so the shared secret is not revealed in the command output. Do not use it to set the shared secret.

Example

The following command configures the shared secret as “purpleaccount” on the primary RADIUS accounting server for both management and network login:

configure radius primary shared-secret purpleaccount

The following command configures the shared secret as “greenaccount” on the primary management RADIUS accounting server:

configure radius mgmt-access primary shared-secret greenaccount
