5. Use the Admin Authentication buttons to specify the authentication server connection method.
6. Use the Radius Server if a Radius server has been selected as the authentication server. Enter
the required network address information.
7. Update the Administrator Access field to change the administrative password used to access
the configuration settings.
Authentication Timeout Defines the maximum time (between 30 - 120 seconds) allowed
for SSH authentication to occur before executing a timeout. The
minimum permissible value is 30 seconds.
SSH Keepalive Interval The SSH Keepalive Interval defines a period (in seconds) after
which if no data has been received from a client, SSH sends a
message through the encrypted channel to request a response
from the client. The default is 0, and no messages will be sent to
the client until a non-zero value is set. Defining a Keepalive
interval is important, otherwise programs running on a server may
never notice if the other end of a connection is rebooted.
Local The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point verifies the
authentication connection.
Radius Designates that a Radius server is used in the authentication
credential verification. If using this option, the connected PC is
required to have its Radius credentials verified with an external
Radius server. Additionally, the Radius Server’s Active Directory
should have a valid user configured and have a PAP based Remote
Access Policy configured for Radius Admin Authentication to work.
Radius Server IP Specify the numerical (non DNS name) IP address of the Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (Radius) server. Radius is a
client/server protocol and software enabling remote-access
servers to communicate with a server used to authenticate users
and authorize access to the requested system or service.
Port Specify the port on which the server is listening. The Radius server
typically listens on ports 1812 (default port).
Shared Secret Define a shared secret for authentication on the server. The
shared secret is required to be the same as the shared secret
defined on the Radius server. Use shared secrets to verify Radius
messages (with the exception of the Access-Request message)
sent by a Radius-enabled device configured with the same shared
secret.
Apply the qualifications of a well-chosen password to the
generation of a shared secret. Generate a random, case-sensitive
string using letters and numbers. The default is admin123.
