Server Information Configuration
For the RADIUS client and server to transact, the RADIUS client must know the
location and sequence of the RADIUS server(s). The location is defined by IP address
(in dotted-decimal notation) and port value. When configuring the RADIUS server
address:
• On the command line the primary server is specified as ’1’ and the secondary
server is specified as ’2’. If the server is not specified, the command will, by
default, configure for the primary server.
• Only one server address and port entry can be set per command.
• The default RADIUS server port value is 1812.
The following commands will set the primary and secondary RADIUS server
addresses and port values.
-> radius set server 192.161.12.105 1812 1
-> radius set server 192.170.7.103 1812 2
To delete a RADIUS server (1 = primary, 2 = secondary) entry, enter the command as
shown below (deleting the secondary RADIUS server):
-> rad deleteserver 2
The current RADIUS server entries can be displayed using the following command:
-> rad list server
Server Retries Configuration
If the primary server cannot be reached on the first attempt, the RADIUS client will, by
default, attempt three additional times. If the server still cannot be contacted, the
client will attempt to contact the secondary server. The following command allows
changing the number of retries; the valid range is 0 to 5.
-> rad set retries 5
Server Retries Timer
When a RADIUS server cannot be reached, a response timeout is set, by default to 3
seconds. This command sets the number of seconds between retry attempts to the
RADIUS server.
-> radius set timeout 4
