Controlling Bridge Access with RADIUS Chapter 5 Administering the Bridge You use the server group server configuration command to associate a particular server with a defined group server. You can either identify the server by its IP address or identify multiple host instances or entries by using the optional auth-port and acct-port keywords. Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define the AAA server group and associate a particular RADIUS server with it: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Command configure terminal aaa new-model radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} [auth-port port-number] [acct-port port-number] [timeout seconds] [retransmit retries] [key string] Step 4 aaa group server radius group-name Step 5 server ip-address Purpose Enter global configuration mode. Enable AAA. Specify the IP address or host name of the remote RADIUS server host. • (Optional) For auth-port port-number, specify the UDP destination port for authentication requests. • (Optional) For acct-port port-number, specify the UDP destination port for accounting requests. • (Optional) For timeout seconds, specify the time interval that the bridge waits for the RADIUS server to reply before retransmitting. The range is 1 to 1000. This setting overrides the radius-server timeout global configuration command setting. If no timeout is set with the radius-server host command, the setting of the radius-server timeout command is used. • (Optional) For retransmit retries, specify the number of times a RADIUS request is resent to a server if that server is not responding or responding slowly. The range is 1 to 1000. If no retransmit value is set with the radius-server host command, the setting of the radius-server retransmit global configuration command is used. • (Optional) For key string, specify the authentication and encryption key used between the bridge and the RADIUS daemon running on the RADIUS server. Note The key is a text string that must match the encryption key used on the RADIUS server. Always configure the key as the last item in the radius-server host command. Leading spaces are ignored, but spaces within and at the end of the key are used. If you use spaces in your key, do not enclose the key in quotation marks unless the quotation marks are part of the key. To configure the bridge to recognize more than one host entry associated with a single IP address, enter this command as many times as necessary, making sure that each UDP port number is different. The bridge software searches for hosts in the order in which you specify them. Set the timeout, retransmit, and encryption key values to use with the specific RADIUS host. Define the AAA server-group with a group name. This command puts the bridge in a server group configuration mode. Associate a particular RADIUS server with the defined server group. Repeat this step for each RADIUS server in the AAA server group. Each server in the group must be previously defined in Step 2. 5-10 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide OL-4059-01
