RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
Configuring the Switch for RADIUS Authentication
■
Global server key:
The server key the switch will use for contacts
with all RADIUS servers for which there is not a server-specific key
configured by
radius-server host <
ip-address
> key <
key-string
>
. This
key is optional if you configure a server-specific key for each RADIUS
server entered in the switch. (Refer to “3. Configure the Switch To
Access a RADIUS Server” on page 5-15.)
■
Server timeout:
Defines the time period in seconds for authentica
tion attempts. If the timeout period expires before a response is
received, the attempt fails.
■
Server dead time:
Specifies the time in minutes during which the
switch avoids requesting authentication from a server that has not
responded to previous requests.
■
Retransmit attempts:
If the first attempt to contact a RADIUS
server fails, specifies how many retries you want the switch to attempt
on that server.
Syntax:
aaa authentication num-attempts < 1 - 10 >
Specifies how many tries for entering the correct user-
name and password before shutting down the session
due to input errors. (Default: 3; Range: 1 - 10).
[no] radius-server
key <
global-key-string
>
Specifies the global encryption key the switch uses with
servers for which the switch does not have a server-
specific key assignment. This key is optional if all
RADIUS server addresses configured in the switch
include a server-specific encryption key. (Default:
Null.)
dead-time < 1 - 1440 >
Optional. Specifies the time in minutes during which
the switch will not attempt to use a RADIUS server that
has not responded to an earlier authentication attempt.
(Default: 0; Range: 1 - 1440 minutes)
