8. In the Port field, specify the UDP port number that the server uses to verify the

RADIUS server authentication.
The range is from 1 to 65535.

9. From the Secret Configured menu, select Yes.

You must select Yes before you can configure the RADIUS secret. After you add the
RADIUS server, this field indicates whether the shared secret for this server was
configured.

10. In the Secret field, type the shared secret text string used for authenticating and

encrypting all RADIUS communications between the switch and the RADIUS server.
This secret must match the one that is configured on the RADIUS server.

11. From the Primary Server menu, select one of the following options:

• Yes: The server functions as the primary RADIUS authentication server.
• No: The server functions as a secondary RADIUS authentication server.

12. From the Message Authenticator menu, select Enable or Disable to specify whether

the message authenticator attribute for the selected server is enabled.
The message authenticator adds protection to RADIUS messages by using an MD5
hash to encrypt each message. The shared secret is used as the key, and if the
message fails to be verified by the RADIUS server, it is discarded.

13. From the Server Type menu, select one of the following options:

• Netgear: A NETGEAR-specific RADIUS server.
• Standard: A third-party RADIUS server.

14. Click the Add button.

The server is added to the switch.

the Clear Counters button.

16. To save the settings to the running configuration, click the Save icon.
