www.dell.com | support.dell.com Specify a RADIUS server host When configuring a RADIUS server host, you can set different communication parameters, such as the UDP port, the key password, the number of retries, and the timeout. To specify a RADIUS server host and configure its communication parameters, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode: Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} [auth-port port-number] [retransmit retries] [timeout seconds] [key [encryption-type] key] CONFIGURATION 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 these optional parameters are not configured, 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 multiple RADIUS server hosts are configured, 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 global communication parameters for all RADIUS server hosts on page 632. To view the RADIUS configuration, use the show running-config radius command in the EXEC Privilege mode. To delete a RADIUS server host, use the no radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} command. Set 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 both global and specific host parameters are configured, the specific host parameters override the global parameters for that RADIUS server host. 632 | Security
