1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate Password field. A different password can be
assigned to each Access Policy.
2. Press ENTER.
3. To disable the function of switch S8 so the passwords cannot be cleared, use the arrow keys to
highlight the Switch 8 field.
4. Press the SPACE bar to select DISABLED.
5. To save the settings, press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays at the top of the screen.
3.9 RADIUS CONFIGURATION SCREEN
When to Use
To configure the Radius client in the switch to restrict access to the management functions of the
Local Management screens, by way of the COM port or network TELNET connection.
This screen allows you to set the necessary parameters to centralize the Authentication,
Authorization, and Accounting of the network resources. For information about Radius Client and
how it functions, refer to
Section 3.6 and Section 3.6.1 .
NOTE: The configuration and enable state of the Radius client will be stored in NVRAM
and loaded on power-up. If the client is properly configured and enabled, the platform
will create the Radius client and enable it at boot time, superseding legacy
authentication. Otherwise, the legacy authentication becomes operational.
Radius Client parameters can also be set using the Network Tools screen described in
Chapter 12 .
