1. Select

Security

>

Radius Server

from the main menu.

2. Select the

Authentication

tab.

3. Refer to the

Authentication

field to define the following Radius authentication information:

EAP and Auth Type

Specify the EAP type for the Radius server.

• PEAP uses a TLS layer on top of EAP as a carrier for other EAP modules. PEAP is an ideal

choice for networks using legacy EAP authentication methods.

• TTLS is similar to EAP-TLS, but the client authentication portion of the protocol is not

performed until after a secure transport tunnel has been established. This allows EAP-
TTLS to protect legacy authentication methods used by some Radius servers.

Auth Data Source

Use

Auth Data Source

drop-down menu to select the data source for the local Radius

server.

• If

Local

is selected, the switch’s internal user database serves as the data source for

user authentication. Refer to the

Users

and

Groups

tabs to define user and group

permissions for the switch’s local Radius server.

• If

LDAP

is selected, the switch uses the data within an LDAP server.
