Source Address Configuration for RADIUS Packets

You can designate the lowest-numbered IP address configured on an Ethernet port, loopback interface, or virtual interface as the source IP address for all RADIUS packets from the Layer 3 Switch.

When a source interface is configured, management applications use the lowest configured IP address of the specified interface as the source IP address in all outgoing packets. If the configured interface is not part of the management VRF, the response packet does not reach the destination.

The configuration of the management source-interface protocol radius command should be compatible with the management VRF configuration.

Any change in the management VRF configuration takes effect immediately for the RADIUS client.

The following example configures a virtual interface as the source IP address for the RADIUS client.

device(config)#  management source-interface ve 100 protocol radius 

The following example configures an Ethernet interface as the source IP address for the RADIUS client.

device(config)# management source-interface ethernet 1/1/1 protocol radius

The following example configures a loopback interface as the source IP address for the RADIUS client.

device(config)# management source-interface loopback 1 protocol radius 

Refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Command Reference for details on the management source-interface protocol radius command.
