Configuring RS Access Security Security Configuration
You can configure up to five RADIUS server targets on the RS. A timeout is set to tell the RS how long to wait for a
response from RADIUS servers.
Note Verify parameter values before saving radius commands to the active or startup
configuration file on the RS. Any misconfiguration can effectively lock you out of
the CLI.
To configure RADIUS security, enter the following commands in Configure mode:
Monitoring RADIUS
You can monitor RADIUS configuration and statistics within the RS.
Specify a RADIUS server and configure
server-specific parameters. radius set server <IP-addr>
<server-options>
Set time that RADIUS server is ignored after it has
failed. radius set deadtime <minutes>
Set authentication key for RADIUS server. radius set key <string>
Determine the RS action if there is no server response
within a given time. a
a. If this command is not specified, the RS tries the next configured authentication method (including TACACS+ configura-
tion commands). Otherwise, if the server does not reply within the configured timeout period for the configured number of re-
tries, user authentication will fail.
