RADIUS Login Authentication on HPE Comware v7 Switches

How to configure RADIUS management login on HPE Comware v7 using Microsoft NPS.

This covers the Comware configuration only. For the NPS server setup, see the ArubaOS-Switch RADIUS login guide which covers the NPS side in full.

Configuration #

Create a RADIUS scheme:

radius scheme nps
 primary authentication x.x.x.x
 primary accounting x.x.x.x
 key authentication simple reallysecurekey
 key accounting simple reallysecurekey
 user-name-format without-domain

Apply to the default domain:

domain system
 authentication login radius-scheme nps none
 authorization login radius-scheme nps none
 accounting login radius-scheme nps none

The none keyword provides local fallback if RADIUS is unreachable — do not remove it.
