www.dell.com | support.dell.com To specify a RADIUS server host and configure its communication parameters, use the following command in CONFIGURATION mode: Command Syntax radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} [auth-port port-number] [retransmit retries] [timeout seconds] [key [encryption-type] key] Command Mode CONFIGURATION Purpose Enter the host name or IP address of the RADIUS server host. Configure the optional communication parameters for the specific host: • auth-port port-number range: 0 to 65335. Enter a UDP port number. The default is 1812. • retransmit retries range: 0 to 100. Default is 3. • timeout seconds range: 0 to 1000. Default is 5 seconds. • key [encryption-type] key: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for encrypted text, and a string for the key. The key can be up to 42 characters long. This key must match the key configured on the RADIUS server host. If you do not configure these optional parameters, the global default values for all RADIUS host are applied. To specify multiple RADIUS server hosts, configure the radius-server host command multiple times. If you configure multiple RADIUS server hosts, FTOS attempts to connect with them in the order in which they were configured. When FTOS attempts to authenticate a user, the software connects with the RADIUS server hosts one at a time, until a RADIUS server host responds with an accept or reject response. If you want to change an optional parameter setting for a specific host, use the radius-server host command. To change the global communication settings to all RADIUS server hosts, refer to Set the Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts. To view the RADIUS configuration, use the show running-config radius command in EXEC Privilege mode. To delete a RADIUS server host, use the no radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} command. Set the Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts You can configure global communication parameters (auth-port, key, retransmit, and timeout parameters) and specific host communication parameters on the same system. However, if you configure both global and specific host parameters, the specific host parameters override the global parameters for that RADIUS server host. To set global communication parameters for all RADIUS server hosts, use any or all of the following commands in CONFIGURATION mode: Command Syntax radius-server deadtime seconds Command Mode Purpose CONFIGURATION Set a time interval after which a RADIUS host server is declared dead. • seconds range: 0 to 2147483647. Default: 0 seconds 488 | Security
