maximum supported number of server hosts is 16.
Parameters server_host <ipaddr> - The IP address of the remote server host to
add.
protocol – The protocol used by the server host. The user may
choose one of the following:
port <int 1-65535> - Enter a number between 1 and 65535 to
define the virtual port number of the authentication protocol on a
server host. The default port number is 49 for

unique port number for higher security. The default port number of
the authentication protocol on the RADIUS server is 1812.

configured TACACS+ server only. Specify an alphanumeric string
up to 254 characters.

for the server host to reply to an authentication request. The default
value is 5 seconds.
retransmit <int 1-255> - Enter the value in the retransmit field to
change how many times the device will resend an authentication
request when the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ or RADIUS
server does not respond.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
tacacs – Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
TACACS protocol.
xtacacs - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
XTACACS protocol.
