Command Mode

Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

To specify multiple hosts, multiple radius-server host commands can be used.

If no host-specific timeout, retransmit, deadtime or key values are specified, the global values apply to each host.

The address type of the source parameter must be the same as the ip-address parameter.

Example

The following example specifies a RADIUS server host with the following characteristics:

Server host IP address—192.168.10.1

Authentication port number—20

Timeout period—20 seconds

Console (config)# radius-server host 192.168.10.1 auth-port20

timeout 20

radius-server key

The radius-server key Global Configuration mode command sets the authentication and encryption key for all RADIUS communications between the device and the RADIUS daemon. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

radius-server key [key-string]

no radius-server key

key-string—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. The key can be up to 128 characters long.

Default Configuration

The default is an empty string.
