Any configuration changes made locally on the switch won't be synchronized with Sophos Central. We recommend making changes from the Sophos Central control panel instead.

RADIUS server

You can use a RADIUS server to authenticate users accessing a network. The RADIUS server maintains a user database, which contains authentication information. The switch passes information to the RADIUS server to authenticate a user before authorizing network access.

You can configure the following options:

  • Index: The ID of the RADIUS server.
  • Server IP address: The IP address of the RADIUS server.
  • Authorized port: The port used for communicating with the RADIUS server. The default port is 1812.
  • Key string: The string used for encrypting all RADIUS communication between the device and the RADIUS server.
  • Time-out reply: The amount of time the device waits for an answer from the RADIUS server before switching to the next server. The default is 3.
  • Retry: The number of transmitted requests sent to the RADIUS server before a failure occurs. The default is 3.
