Radius Commands

radius-server host

The radius-server host Global Configuration mode command specifies a RADIUS server host. To delete the specified RADIUS host, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

radius-server host {ip-address hostname} [auth-port auth-port-number] [timeout timeout] [retransmit retransmit] [deadtime deadtime] [key key] [source source] [priority priority] [usage type]

no radius-server host ip-address

•ip-address—IP address of the RADIUS server host.

•hostname—Hostname of the RADIUS server host.(Range: 1 - 158 characters)

•auth-port-number—Port number for authentication requests. The host is not used for authentication if set to 0. If unspecified, the port number defaults to 1812.

(Range: 0 - 65535)

•timeout—Specifies the timeout value in seconds. If no timeout value is specified, the global value is used. (Range: 1 - 30)

•retransmit—Specifies the re-transmit value. If no re-transmit value is specified, the global value is used. (Range: 1 - 10)

•deadtime—Length of time, in minutes, for which a RADIUS server is skipped over by transaction requests. (Range 0 - 2000)

•key—Specifies the authentication and encryption key for all RADIUS communications between the device and the RADIUS server. This key must match the encryption used on the RADIUS daemon. If no key value is specified, the global value is used. (Range: 1 - 128 characters)

•source—Specifies the source IP address to use for the communication. If no retransmit value is specified, the global value is used. 0.0.0.0 is interpreted as request to use the IP address of the outgoing IP interface.

•priority—Determines the order in which the servers are used, where 0 is the highest priority. (Range: 0 - 65535)

•type—Specifies the usage type of the server. Can be one of the following values: login, 802.1x or all. If unspecified, defaults to all.

Default Configuration

By default, no RADIUS host is specified.
