Configuring RADIUS security
AAA security for commands pasted Into the running-config
If AAA security is enabled on the device, commands pasted into the running-config are subject to
the same AAA operations as if they were entered manually.
When you paste commands into the running-config, and AAA command authorization or
accounting, or both, are configured on the device, AAA operations are performed on the pasted
commands. The AAA operations are performed before the commands are actually added to the
running-config. The server performing the AAA operations should be reachable when you paste the
commands into the running-config file. If the device determines that a pasted command is invalid,
AAA operations are halted on the remaining commands. The remaining commands may not be
executed if command authorization is configured.
NOTE
Since RADIUS command authorization relies on a list of commands received from the RADIUS server
when authentication is performed, it is important that you use RADIUS authentication when you also
use RADIUS command authorization.
RADIUS configuration considerations
• You must deploy at least one RADIUS server in your network.
• Devices support authentication using up to eight RADIUS servers, including those used for
802.1X authentication and for management. The device tries to use the servers in the order
you add them to the device configuration. If one RADIUS server times out (does not respond),
the device tries the next one in the list. Servers are tried in the same sequence each time there
is a request.
