Hello
Im working on a setup to configure ExtemeControl as radiusserver for CLI managment login in VOSS switches
The Set up EXOs switches is working , To configure this i use document: https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000081977&q=How-to-configure-NAC-to-handle....
Now I want to to the same for VOSS switches but I can't find any configuration example for this
Is there any example availible?
Kind Regards
Rien

Hello EF
I did test the configuration you descript but to bad, the radius configuration between the VOSS switch and the EtremeControl EAC doesn't work; I'm Unable to login via SSH to manage teh Switches when the Radius is configured to the EAC.
when the radius configuration is to a NPS it works.
the firmware versions are:
Extreme XIQ-SE: Version 25.2.12.13, ExtremControl EAC: Version 25.2.12.13, VOSS version 9.1.1.0
I configure the ExtreControl and VOSS radius as below:
XIQ-SE/Control/Access Control/Engines/Engine Group āxxxxā/ Switches
The Radius Attributes to Send are:
XIQ-SE/Control/Access Control/configuration/ xxx/ Rules
Profile:
Accept Policy:
VOSS Switch radius Config:
#
# RADIUS CONFIGURATION
#
radius server host 10.1.5.232 key ******
radius server host 10.1.5.233 key ******
radius enable
radius reachability keep-alive-timer 0 unreachable-timer 30
radius reachability mode status-server
Based on this configuration I test the SSH cli login via a second putty session, the login failed there is no info logged in XIQ-Sem the log in the Switch is show below
KBD1-3_5-LAN-01:1(config)#sh log file tail

I see that the switch is Unable to communicate with the EAC, maybe is that the problem Iām try to solve this by configuring the "radius reachability" but no fix
============================================
To test the radius communication and username password I changed the configuration to a NPS server and that works fine
VOSS config:
#
# RADIUS CONFIGURATION
#
radius server host 10.1.17.25 key ******
radius server host 10.1.17.26 key ******
radius enable
radius reachability keep-alive-timer 0 unreachable-timer 30
radius reachability mode status-server
Voss Switch log:
