Configuring The Bridge For Vendor-Proprietary Radius Server Communication - Cisco C3201FESMIC-TP= - 3201 Fast EN Switch Mobile Interface Card Expansion Module Software Configuration Manual

Configuring and Enabling RADIUS
To configure the bridge to recognize and use VSAs, follow these steps, beginning in privileged EXEC
mode:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 radius-server vsa send [accounting |
authentication]
Step 3 end
Step 4 show running-config
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config
For a complete list of RADIUS attributes or more information about VSA 26, see the "RADIUS
Attributes" appendix in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide for Release 12.2.

Configuring the Bridge for Vendor-Proprietary RADIUS Server Communication

Although an IETF draft standard for RADIUS specifies a method for communicating vendor-proprietary
information between the bridge and the RADIUS server, some vendors have extended the RADIUS
attribute set in a unique way. Cisco IOS software supports a subset of vendor-proprietary RADIUS
attributes.
As mentioned earlier, to configure RADIUS (whether vendor-proprietary or IETF draft-compliant), you
must specify the host that is running the RADIUS server daemon and the secret text string that it shares
with the bridge. You specify the RADIUS host and secret text string by using the radius-server
command in global configuration mode.
To specify a vendor-proprietary RADIUS server host and a shared secret text string, follow these steps,
beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} non-standard

Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enables the bridge to recognize and use VSAs as defined by RADIUS IETF
attribute 26.
(Optional) Use the accounting keyword to limit the set of recognized
•
VSAs to only accounting attributes.
• (Optional) Use the authentication keyword to limit the set of
recognized VSAs to only authentication attributes.
If you enter this command without keywords, both accounting and
authentication VSAs are used.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Verifies your settings.
(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Specifies the IP address or hostname of the remote
RADIUS server host and identify that it is using a
vendor-proprietary implementation of RADIUS.
