Service Manual

radius-server host
Configure a RADIUS server host.
Syntax
radius-server host {hostname | ipv4-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 Enter the IPv4 address (A.B.C.D) 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.

Usage Information
To configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is configured, use this command. The
system searches for the RADIUS hosts in the order they are configured in the software.
The global default values for the timeout, retransmit, and key optional parameters are applied, unless those
values are specified in the radius-server host or other commands. To return to the global default values, if
you configure the
timeout, retransmit, or key values, include those keywords when using the no radius-
server host command syntax.
