Hi,

Can anyone suggest how to configure RADIUS on Cisco 3550 switch?

I have deployed FreeRADIUS on a RedHat Linux OS system.

Please treat this as on urgent basis.

Awaiting for someones's suggestion....

What exactly are you trying to do? There are many different radius options.

We want to enable RADIUS authentication on the local LAN using FreeRADIUS or Microsoft IAS.Once authenticated with RADIUS, the client PC should get a dynamic IP address based on the VLAN configuration.

We are using Cisco 3550 switch.

What configurations need to be done on Cisco 3550 switch for this.Please provide configuration steps for enabling RADIUS on Microsoft IAS or FreeRADIUS (Linux based).
