Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.1

To configure RADIUS server for 802.1x authentication, use the radius-server host command. Enter the server IP address or host name, and the shared secret key used to authenticate the OS10 switch on a RADIUS host.

• Configure a RADIUS over TLS authentication on a RADIUS server in CONFIGURATION mode.

  radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} key {0 authentication-key | 9 authentication-key | authentication-key} [auth-port port-number]

To configure more than one RADIUS server for 802.1x authentication, re-enter the radius-server host tls command multiple times. If you configure multiple RADIUS servers, OS10 attempts to connect in the order you configured them. An OS10 switch connects with the configured RADIUS servers one at a time, until a RADIUS server responds with an accept or reject response. The switch tries to connect with a server for the configured number of retransmit retries and timeout period.

Configure global settings for the timeout and retransmit attempts allowed on RADIUS servers as described in RADIUS authentication.
