Chapter 3 Configuring Platform Parameters Device Authentication 3.9 Device Authentication NSG 9000 may use a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server to authenticate and authorize users who are trying to log into the NSG 9000. To enable the RADIUS authentication, the following should apply: • Connection to a RADIUS server - NSG is defined as a client of the RADIUS server • NSG 9000 is configured to work in Remote mode • The RADIUS server database should include three types of authorized NSG users. Any user defined in the RADIUS server must belong to one of these groups: Admin Config Guest The following table lists the permissions of each group of users: Table 3-3: NSG 9000 Permission per Users User Device Configuration Change IP Tables Password of Local Users Upgrade Authentication Mode Monitoring admin Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes config Yes No No No No Yes guest No No No No No Yes Once a user is trying to log into the NSG 9000 either via HTTP/HTTPS or SSH, NSG 9000 challenges the RADIUS server. Once the user is authenticated and authorized, the user can log into the device. Upon a communication problem with the RADIUS server, while performing authentication, the NSG automatically switches to a local authentication method. However, once the problem is fixed, remote authentication is performed as long as Remote is the configured authentication mode. When working in Remote mode, local users cannot login. To configure RADIUS Mode 1. Open the web client of the device. 2. Select Platform > Chassis > Authentication tab: 3. Open the Authentication Type list and select either of the following: Local - authentication and authorization is performed locally, against the database of the NSG 9000-6G Remote-RADIUS - authentication and authorization is performed by the RADIUS server. When selected, move to the following step to configure the required parameters. © 2012 Harmonic Inc. 34 NSG 9000-6G, Version 2.7, Rev B
Chapter 3 Configuring Platform Parameters Input GbE Ports Configuration 4. When Remote is selected, configure the following parameters: Server IP - enter the IP address of the RADIUS server Port - the port number over which the RADIUS sever communicates with the NSG 9000. Secret - enter a confidential string that is shared between the device and the RADIUS server. Timeout - enter in seconds, the time allowed to elapse between an NSG 9000 request and a response from the RADIUS server. NOTE: Once you change to Remote and click Apply, any attempt to login, or after refresh, requires the remote authentication. 3.10 Input GbE Ports Configuration The GbE ports are operate as eight independent ports receiving eight different feeds. The port status is reflected in the Platform > General tab as follows: Table 3-4: Input GbE Port Port Status Display Display Disabled Grey Enabled White Part of a port-redundancy pair Yellow - tool tip indicates whether primary or backup 3.10.1 Configuring Input GbE ports To configure GbE port properties 1. Select the Platform tab. 2. In Back Panel View, select the GbE ports. © 2012 Harmonic Inc. 35 NSG 9000-6G, Version 2.7, Rev B
