Configuring client side RADIUS support

Each Brocade switch client must be individually configured to use RADIUS servers. You use the
radius-server command to specify the server IP address, authentication protocols, and other
parameters. You can configure a maximum of 5 RADIUS servers on a Brocade switch for AAA service.

NOTE
RADIUS requires that you configure both the client and the server.

The following table describes the parameters associated with a RADIUS server that is configured on the
switch.

RADIUS server parameters
