RADIUS Server Fully Qualified Domain Names

If you define a RADIUS server using the FQDN of the server rather than its IP address, the controller periodically generates a DNS request and cache the IP address returned in the DNS response. To view the IP address that currently correlate to each RADIUS server FQDN, access the command-line interface in config mode and issue the following command:

show aaa fqdn-server-names

Set a DNS Query Interval

If you define a RADIUS server using the FQDN of the server rather than its IP address, the controller periodically generates a DNS request and cache the IP address returned in the DNS response. By default, DNS requests are sent every 15 minutes.

You can use either the WebUI or the CLI to configure how often the controller should generate a DNS request to cache the IP address for a RADIUS server identified via its fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

Using the WebUI

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Security > Authentication > Advanced page.

2.In the DNS Query Interval (min) field, enter a new DNS query interval, from 1-1440 minutes, inclusive.

3.Click Apply to save your changes.

Using the CLI

(host)(config) #aaa dns-query-period <minutes>

Configuring an RFC-3576 RADIUS Server

You can configure a RADIUS server to send user disconnect, change-of-authorization (CoA), and session timeout messages as described in RFC 3576, “Dynamic Authorization Extensions to Remote Dial In User Service (RADIUS)”.
