Setting Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts

Page 227 highlights

- 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, Dell Networking OS attempts to connect with them in the order in which they were configured. When Dell Networking OS 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 Setting 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. Setting 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 the following commands. • Set a time interval after which a RADIUS host server is declared dead. CONFIGURATION mode radius-server deadtime seconds - seconds: the range is from 0 to 2147483647. The default is 0 seconds. • Configure a key for all RADIUS communications between the system and RADIUS server hosts. CONFIGURATION mode radius-server key [encryption-type] key - encryption-type: enter 7 to encrypt the password. Enter 0 to keep the password as plain text. - key: enter a string. The key can be up to 42 characters long. You cannot use spaces in the key. • Configure the number of times Dell Networking OS retransmits RADIUS requests. CONFIGURATION mode radius-server retransmit retries - retries: the range is from 0 to 100. Default is 3 retries. • Configure the time interval the system waits for a RADIUS server host response. CONFIGURATION mode radius-server timeout seconds PMUX Mode of the IO Aggregator 227
