Managing RADIUS authentication servers using the CLI
You can configure additional RADIUS servers for the domain, for redundancy.
You can have a maximum of three RADIUS authentication servers in the
configuration. You can control the order in which the RADIUS servers respond to
authentication requests.
To enable RADIUS authentication, ensure that the authentication ID that
represents the RADIUS configuration is included in the authentication order you
have specified for the Nortel SNAS 4050 domain (see “Specifying authentication
fallback order using the CLI” on page 267).
To manage the RADIUS servers used for client authentication in the domain, use
the following command:
/cfg/domain 1/aaa/auth #/radius/servers
The Radius servers menu displays.
timeout <interval>
Sets the timeout interval for a connection request to a
RADIUS server. At the end of the timeout period, if no
connection has been established, authentication will
fail.
• interval is an integer that indicates the time
interval in seconds (
s), minutes (m), or hours (h). If
you do not specify a measurement unit, seconds is
assumed. The range is 1–10000 seconds. The
default is 10 seconds.
sessiontim
Accesses the Session Timeout menu, in order to
configure settings to control the length of client
sessions (see “Configuring session timeout using the
CLI” on page 249).
