RADIUS authentication
To congure a RADIUS server for authentication, enter the server's IP address or host name. You can change the UDP port number on the
server and the key used to authenticate the OS10 switch on the server.
• Congure a RADIUS authentication server in CONFIGURATION mode. By default, a RADIUS server uses UDP port 1812; the switch
uses radius_server as the key to log in to a RADIUS server.
radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} [auth-port port-number ]
Re-enter the radius-server host command multiple times to congure more than one RADIUS server. If you congure multiple
RADIUS servers, OS10 attempts to connect in the order you congured them. An OS10 switch connects with the congured RADIUS
servers one at a time, until a RADIUS server responds with an accept or reject response.
Congure global settings for the timeout and retransmit attempts allowed on RADIUS servers by using the radius-server
retransmit and radius-server timeout commands. By default, OS10 supports three RADIUS authentication attempts and times
out after ve seconds.
• Congure the number of times OS10 retransmits a RADIUS authentication request in CONFIGURATION mode (0 to 100 retries; default
3).

• Congure the timeout period used to wait for an authentication response from a RADIUS server in CONFIGURATION mode (0 to 1000
seconds; default 5).

RADIUS server settings
Congure global communication parameters for RADIUS servers. If you congure both global and specic host parameters, the specic
host parameters override the global parameters for a RADIUS server host.
