• Configure the timeout period used to wait for an authentication response from a RADIUS server in CONFIGURATION mode (0 to 1000 seconds; default 5). radius-server timeout seconds Configure RADIUS server OS10(config)# radius-server host 1.2.4.5 OS10(config)# radius-server retransmit 10 OS10(config)# radius-server timeout 10 View RADIUS server configuration OS10# show running-configuration ... radius-server host 1.2.4.5 key mysecret radius-server retransmit 10 radius-server timeout 10 ... Delete RADIUS server OS10# no radius server host 1.2.4.5 TACACS+ authentication Configure a TACACS+ authentication server by entering the server's IP address or host name. You must also enter a text string for the key used to authenticate the OS10 switch on a TACACS+ host. The TCP port entry is optional. TACACS+ provides greater data security by encrypting the entire protocol portion in a packet sent from the switch to an authentication server. RADIUS encrypts only passwords. • Configure a TACACS+ authentication server in CONFIGURATION mode. By default, a TACACS+ server uses TCP port 49 for authentication. tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address} key authentication-key [auth-port port-number] Re-enter the tacacs-server host command multiple times to configure more than one TACACS+ server. If you configure multiple TACACS+ servers, OS10 attempts to connect in the order you configured them. An OS10 switch connects with the configured TACACS+ servers one at a time, until a RADIUS server responds with an accept or reject response. Configure the global timeout used on all TACACS+ servers by using the tacacs-server timeout command. By default, OS10 times out an authentication attempt on a TACACS+ server after five seconds. • Enter the timeout value used to wait for an authentication response from TACACS+ servers in CONFIGURATION mode (1 to 1000 seconds; default 5). tacacs-server timout seconds Configure TACACS+ server OS10(config)# tacacs-server host 1.2.4.5 key mysecret View TACACS+ server configuration OS10# show running-configuration ... tacacs-server host 1.2.4.5 key mysecret ...
