create authen server_host

none] | timeout <int 1-255> | retransmit < 1-255>}

Description

This command will create an authentication server host for the

TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS security protocols on

the Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with

authentication protocol enabled, the Switch will send authentication

packets to a remote TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ or RADIUS

server host on a remote host. The TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+

or RADIUS server host will then verify or deny the request and

return the appropriate

message to the Switch. More than one

authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server host

but, remember that TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS

are separate entities and are not compatible with each other. The

maximum supported number of server hosts is 16.

Parameters

server_host <ipaddr>

- The IP address of the remote server host to

add.

protocol

– The protocol used by the server host. The user may

choose one of the following:

port <int 1-65535>

-

Enter a number between 1 and 65535 to

define the virtual port number of the authentication protocol on a

server host. The default port number is 49 for

TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ servers but the user may set a

unique port number for higher security. The default port number of

the authentication protocol on the RADIUS server is 1812.

key <key_string 254>

-

Authentication key to be shared with a

configured TACACS+ server only. Specify an alphanumeric string

up to 254 characters.

timeout <int 1-255>

- Enter the time in seconds the Switch will wait

for the server host to reply to an authentication request. The default

value is 5 seconds.

retransmit <int 1-255>

- Enter the value in the retransmit field to

change how many times the device will resend an authentication

request when the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ or RADIUS

server does not respond.

Restrictions

Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

±

tacacs

– Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the

TACACS protocol.

±

xtacacs

- Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the

XTACACS protocol.

±

tacacs+

- Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes

the TACACS+ protocol.

±

radius

- Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the

RADIUS protocol.

Example usage:

To create a TACACS+ authentication server host, with port number 1234, a timeout value of 10 seconds and a

retransmit count of 5.
