Using a RADIUS Server as the Web Authentication Method

By default, Web Authentication uses a RADIUS server to authenticate usernames and passwords of the hosts, unless the device is configured to use the local user database. You must perform the following steps.

  1. Configure the RADIUS server information on the FastIron switch. Enter a command such as the following. 
    device(config)# radius-server host 10.1.1.8 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 default key $GSig@U\
    Note: Web Authentication uses the first reachable RADIUS server listed in the configuration. The use-radius-server command on individual ports is not supported for Web Authentication.
  2. Enable the username and password authentication mode. 
    device(config-vlan-10-webauth)# auth-mode username-password
  3. Enable the RADIUS authentication method. Refer to Setting the Local User Database Authentication Method or Setting the Web Authentication Failover Sequence
