enabled on the switch, because it is disabled by default. For details of commands used to
configure the local RADIUS server, see

Chapter 51, Local RADIUS Server Commands

.

Enable the Local RADIUS Server

The Local RADIUS Server is disabled by default. Enter the following commands to enable
the Local RADIUS Server:

This will automatically initialize the internal Certificate Authority (CA) in the switch. It will
also automatically create a server certificate and enroll the certificate with the Local CA by
implicitly executing the following commands:

The crypto pki trustpoint local command declares the Local CA as the CA from which to
obtain Certificates. The Local CA has be defined first so Certificates can be obtained from
it. The crypto pki enroll local command obtains the system certificate from the Local CA.

The switch is automatically added to the list of authenticators that may send
authentication requests to the Local RADIUS Server by implicitly executing the following
commands:

awplus(config)#

used for internal exchanges between the switch’s RADIUS client and its RADIUS
server.
