Linksys

From FreeRADIUS Wiki

While Linksys is now a divison of Cisco Systems it's RADIUS support works a little different to Cisco NAS equipment.

To use RADIUS to authenticate your console, telnet & web access you need to configure the your RADIUS servers IP address and shared secret. This can usually be easily acomplished via the Linksys Web Admin interface.

Note: These instructions are tested on a Linksys SRW224P switch

Standard Access

Any standard RADIUS user configured will by default have Read Only access to the device

You can do this with an entry in your users file similar to the following

youruser   Cleartext-Password := "somepass"

Administrative Access

Quite likely, at some point you will also need administrative access to your Linksys (Even if only to disable RADIUS Authentication). This requires that you send "Service-Type = Administrative-User" to the device as a reply attribute. (I cannot find this documented ANYWHERE on the Linksys website!)

You can do this with an entry in your users file similar to the following

youruser   Cleartext-Password := "somepass"
           Service-Type = Administrative-User

Problems

According to some reports, the Linksys family of equipment does not honor the Session-Timeout attribute.
