This object provides an option for configuring users on a remote RADIUS server and authenticating login attempts with that RADIUS server. The authenticating user should be part of the Administrator group.

Info

For configuration details, see Configuring SBC for RADIUS Authentication best practice.

 

Command Syntax

The CLI syntax to configure RADIUS-based authentication is shown below.

Code Block
languagenone
% set oam radiusAuthentication 
	radiusServer <server name>
		mgmtInterfaceGroup <string>
		priority radiusNasIp <NAS IP address>
   radiusServerIp <server IP address>
   radiusServerPort <server IP port number> 
   radiusSharedSecret <shared key, 8 to 128 characters><#>
		radiusNasIp <x.x.x.x>
		radiusServerIp <x.x.x.x>
		radiusServerPort <#>
		radiusSharedSecret <8-128>
		state <disabled | enabled>

ParameterLength/RangeDescription

radiusAuthentication

N/A

Use this object to configure RADIUS-based user authentication.

radiusServer 

 Use this object to configure each RADIUS server for the specified Management Interface Group.

  • <name>* – RADIUS server name (up to 23 characters).
  • mgmtInterfaceGroup – Name of the Management Interface Group to connect to this RADIUS server.
  • priority* – When configuring multiple RADIUS servers, use this attribute to specify the order to attempt RADIUS authentication. The RADIUS server with the lowest priority is contacted first.
  • radiusNasIp (default = 0

radiusNasIp

N/A

NAS IP address. (default is ‘0
  • .0.0.
0’)

radiusServerIp

N/A

RADIUS server IP address. (default is ‘0.0.0.0’)

radiusServerPort

1-65535

RADIUS server IP port. (default = 1812)

radiusSharedSecret

8-128

RADIUS server shared key.

  • 0) – IPv4 address of the SBC to send in ACCESS_REQUEST.
  • radiusServerIp – IPv4 address of the RADIUS server.
  • radiusServerPort – The RADIUS server port to which the SBC sends the request. (range: 1-65535)
  • radiusSharedSecret – The shared secret used to encrypt the data exchanged between SBC and RADIUS server. (range: 8-128 characters)
  • state – Operational state of the RADIUS server.
    • disabled (default)
    • enabled
Note

IPv6 configuration for RADIUS server is not supported at this time.

Note

In a SBC HA configuration, four management IP addresses must be listed on the RADIUS server:

  • mgt0 and mgt1 IP addresses of the Active CE
  • mgt0 and mgt1 IP addresses of and Standby CE
Info
iconfalse

* Required parameter.

retryCriteria

Use this parameter to configure SBC's authentication retry criteria before timing out, as well as RADIUS server out-of-service setting.

  • oosDuration – Time in minutes the RADIUS server remains out of service after a timeout.
  • retryCount – Number of retries the SBC uses to attempt authentication. (range: 1-3 / default = 3)
  • retryTimer – Time in milliseconds before the SBC attempts another authentication request. (range: 500-3000 / default = 1000)

Command Example

Note

The radiusSharedSecret results in the 'show' command will be encrypted.
