RADIUS Client
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a logon authentication
protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to
RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a
database of multiple user name/password pairs with associated privilege levels for
each user or group that require management access to a switch.
radius-server host
This command specifies primary and backup RADIUS servers and authentication
parameters that apply to each server. Use the
no form to restore the default values.
Syntax
[ no ] radius-server index host { host_ip_address } [ auth-port auth_port ]
[ acct-port acct_port ] [ timeout timeout ] [ retransmit retransmit ] [ key key ]
• index - Allows you to specify up to five servers. These servers are queried
in sequence until a server responds or the retransmit period expires.
• host_ip_address - IP address of server.
• auth_port - RADIUS server UDP port used for authentication messages.
