DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide
447
encryption_key <string 800> -
Specifies the encryption key.
key [<string 254> | none]
– The authentication key to be shared with
a configured or RADIUS server only. The value is a string
of up to 254 alphanumeric characters, or
none
.
timeout <int 1-255>
– The time in seconds the Switch waits for the
server host to reply to an authentication request. The default value is
5 seconds.
retransmit <int 1-255>
– The number of times the device resends an
authentication request when the server does not respond. The value
is between 1 and 255. This field is inoperable for the
protocol.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a authentication server host, with port number 1234, a timeout value of 10 seconds
and a retransmit count of 5.
DGS-1210-28MP/ME:5# create authen server_host 10.1.1.121 protocol
port 1234 timeout 10 retransmit 5
Command: create authen server_host 10.1.1.121 protocol port 1234
timeout 10 retransmit 5
Key is empty for or RADIUS.
Retransmit is meaningless for .
Success.
DGS-1210-28MP/ME:5#
config authen server_host
Purpose
To configure a user-defined authentication server host.
Syntax
config authen server_host [<ipaddr> | ipv6address <ipv6addr>]
protocol [ | radius] {acct_port <int 1-65535> | port <int 1-
65535> | encryption_key <string 800> | key [<string 254> | none]
| timeout <int 1-255> | retransmit <int 1-255>}
Description
The
config authen server_host
command configures a user-
defined authentication server host for the /RADIUS
security protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access
the Switch with the authentication protocol enabled, the Switch
sends authentication packets to a remote /RADIUS server
host on a remote host. The /RADIUS server host then
verifies or denies the request and returns the appropriate message
to the Switch. More than one authentication protocol can be run on
the same physical server host but, remember that
/RADIUS are separate entities and are not compatible
with each other. The maximum supported number of server hosts is
16.
Parameters
[<ipaddr> | ipv6address <ipv6addr>] –
The IPv4 or IPv6 address of
the remote server host the user wishes to alter.
protocol –
The protocol used by the server host. The options are:
•
–
Specifies that the server host utilizes the
protocol.
