Syntax
radius-server host {hostname | ipv4-address | ipv6-address} [auth-port port-
number] [retransmit retries] [timeout seconds] [key [encryption-type] key]
Parameters
hostname
Enter the name of the RADIUS server host.
ipv4-address
|
ipv6-address
Enter the IPv4 address (A.B.C.D) or IPv6 address (X:X:X:X::X) of the RADIUS server
host.
auth-port
port-
number
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords auth-port then a number as the port number. The
range is from zero (0) to 65535. The default port-number is 1812.
retransmit
retries
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword retransmit then a number as the number of
attempts. This parameter overwrites the radius-server retransmit command.
The range is from zero (0) to 100. The default is 3 attempts.
timeout
seconds
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword timeout then the seconds the time interval the switch
waits for a reply from the RADIUS server. This parameter overwrites the radius-
server timeout command. The range is from 0 to 1000. The default is 5 seconds.
key [
encryption-
type
]
key
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword key then an optional encryption-type and a string up to
42 characters long as the authentication key. The RADIUS host server uses this
authentication key and the RADIUS daemon operating on this switch.
For the encryption-type, enter either zero (0) or 7 as the encryption type for the key
entered. The options are:
• 0 is the default and means the password is not encrypted and stored as clear text.
• 7 means that the password is encrypted and hidden.
Configure this parameter last because leading spaces are ignored.
Defaults Not configured.
