create authen server_host
 radius - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
RADIUS protocol.
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 TACACS+ servers
but the user may set a unique port number for higher security. The
default port number of the authentication protocol on the RADIUS
server is 1812.
key <key_string 128> - Authentication key to be shared with a
configured TACACS+ server only. Specify an alphanumeric string
up to 128 characters.
timeout <int 1-30> - Enter the time in seconds the Switch will wait
for the server host to reply to an authentication request. The default
value is 5 seconds.
retransmit <int 1-10> - Enter the value in the retransmit field to
change how many times the device will resend an authentication
request when the TACACS+ or RADIUS server does not respond.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a TACACS+ authentication server host, with port number 1234, a timeout value of 10 seconds
and a retransmit count of 5.

DGS3048#
config authen server_host
Purpose Used to configure a user-defined authentication server host.
Syntax
config authen server_host <ipaddr> protocol [tacacs+ | radius]
{port <int 1-65535> | key [<key_string 128> | none] | timeout
<int 1-30> | retransmit <int 1-10>}
Description This command will configure a user-defined authentication server
host for the TACACS+ and RADIUS security protocols on the
Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with
authentication protocol enabled, the Switch will send authentication
packets to a remote TACACS+/RADIUS server host on a remote
host. The TACACS+/RADIUS server host will then verify or deny
the request and return the appropriate message to the Switch.
More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same
physical server host but, remember that TACACS+ are separate
entities and are not compatible with each other. The maximum
supported number of server hosts is 16.
Parameters server_host <ipaddr> - The IP address of the remote server host to
