Configuring the RADIUS Server

6

1. Select Security > RADIUS Server from the main menu.

2. Select the Authentication tab.

3. Refer to the Authentication field to define the following RADIUS authentication information:

EAP and Auth Type

Specify the EAP type for the RADIUS server.

PEAP

uses a TLS layer on top of EAP as a carrier for other EAP modules. PEAP

is an ideal choice for networks using legacy EAP authentication methods.

TTLS is similar to EAP-TLS, but the client authentication portion of the
protocol is not performed until after a secure transport tunnel has been
established. This allows EAP-TTLS to protect legacy authentication methods
used by some RADIUS servers.

Auth Data Source

Use Auth Data Source

drop-down menu to select the data source for the local

RADIUS server.

If Local

is selected, the switch’s internal user database serves as the data

source for user authentication. Refer to the Users and Groups tabs to define
user and group permissions for the switch’s local RADIUS server.

If LDAP is selected, the switch uses the data within an LDAP server.
