xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI Manual
create authen server_host
<key_string 254>
- Specify an alphanumeric string up to
254 characters to be a key for the TACACS server.
none
– Specify this parameter to not use any key.
timeout <int 1-255>
- Enter the time in seconds the Switch will wait
for the server host to reply to an authentication request. The default
value is 5 seconds.
retransmit <int 1-255>
- Enter the value in the retransmit field to
change how many times the device will resend an authentication
request when the TACACS/XTACACS/ or RADIUS
server does not respond.
Only
administrator-level users can issue this command.
Restrictions
Example usage:
To create a authentication server host, with port number 1234, a timeout value of 10 seconds and a
retransmit count of 5.

config authen server_host
Purpose
Used to configure a user-defined authentication server host.
Syntax
config authen server_host <ipaddr> protocol [tacacs | xtacacs
| | radius] {port <int 1-65535> | key [<key_string 254> |
none] | timeout <int 1-255> | retransmit < 1-255>}
Description
This command will configure a user-defined authentication server
host for the TACACS/XTACACS/ and RADIUS security
protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access the
Switch with authentication protocol enabled, the Switch will send
authentication packets to a remote
TACACS/XTACACS//RADIUS server host on a remote
host. The TACACS/XTACACS//RADIUS server host will
then verify or deny the request and return the appropriate message
to the Switch. More than one authentication protocol can be run on
the same physical server host but, remember that
TACACS/XTACACS/ are separate entities and are not
compatible with each other. The maximum supported number of
server hosts is 16.
server_host <ipaddr>
- The IP address of the remote server host to
be altered.
protocol
– The protocol used by the server host. The user may
choose one of the following:
Parameters
tacacs
– Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
