Configuring the switch

RADIUS configuration of the switch is controlled by the

aaaConfig

command.

NOTE:

On dual-CP switches (Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director), the

switch sends its RADIUS request using the IP address of the active CP. When adding clients, add both the

active and standby CP IP addresses so that users can still log in to the event of a failover.

The following procedures show how to use the

aaaConfig

command to set up a switch for

RADIUS service.
