Users Guide

You can use duplicate host names or IP addresses among RADIUS groups. However, you cannot use
duplicate host names or IP addresses within the same RADIUS group. If a VRF is not congured on the
RADIUS group, then servers congured in the group are considered to be on the default VRF. RADIUS
servers that are congured in the CONFIGURATION mode are also considered to be on the default VRF.
You must congure the RADIUS group explicitly with the aaa radius group command in order for the
AAA servers to use the group of RADIUS servers. The 802.1x servers use the group of RADIUS servers
based on the VRF where the 802.1x request is received. As a result, it is possible that both globally
congured RADIUS servers as well as the group-congured RADIUS servers (without VRF or default VRF)
are used for processing the 802.1x requests that are received at the default VRF. The order in which the
RADIUS servers are tried depends on the order in which the RADIUS servers are congured.
Example
Dell(conf)#radius-server group group1
Dell(conf-radius-group)#radius-server host 1.1.1.1 key secret
Dell(conf-radius-group)#no radius-server host 1.1.1.1
