Step 2
radius-server dead-criteria time
time
tries
tries
(Optional) Set the conditions that are used to decide when a RADIUS
server is considered unavailable or
dead
.
The range for
time
is from 1 to 120 seconds. The switch dynamically
determines the default
seconds
value that is 10 to 60 seconds.
The range for
tries
is from 1 to 100. The switch dynamically determines
the default
tries
parameter that is 10 to 100.
Step 3
radius-server deadtime
minutes
(Optional) Set the number of minutes that a RADIUS server is not sent
requests. The range is from 0 to 1440 minutes (24 hours). The default is
0 minutes.

(Optional) Configure the RADIUS server parameters by using these
keywords:
•
acct-port
udp-port—
Specify the UDP port for the RADIUS
accounting server. The range for the UDP port number is from 0 to
65536. The default is 1646.
•
auth-port
udp-port—
Specify the UDP port for the RADIUS
authentication server. The range for the UDP port number is from 0
to 65536. The default is 1645.
Note
You should configure the UDP port for the RADIUS accounting
server and the UDP port for the RADIUS authentication server to
nondefault values.
•
test
username
name
—Enable automated testing of the RADIUS
server status, and specify the username to be used.
•
idle-time
time—
Set the interval of time in minutes after which the
switch sends test packets to the server. The range is from 1 to
35791 minutes. The default is 60 minutes (1 hour).
•
ignore-acct-port
—
Disable testing on the RADIUS-server
accounting port.
•
ignore-auth-port
—
Disable testing on the RADIUS-server
authentication port.
•
For
key
string
, specify the authentication and encryption key used
between the switch and the RADIUS daemon running on the
RADIUS server. The key is a text string that must match the
encryption key used on the RADIUS server.
Note
Always configure the key as the last item in the
radius-server
host
command syntax because leading spaces are ignored, but
spaces within and at the end of the key are used. If you use spaces
in the key, do not enclose the key in quotation marks unless the
quotation marks are part of the key. This key must match the
encryption used on the RADIUS daemon.You can also configure
the authentication and encryption key by using the
radius-server
key
{
0

|
7

} global configuration command.
Note
You can also configure the authentication and encryption key by
using the
radius-server key
