Syntax

[no] radius-serverindex host {host_ip_address host_alias} [auth-portauth_port] [timeout timeout] [retransmit retransmit] [key key]

•index - Allows you to specific up to five servers. These servers are queried in sequence until a server responds or the retransmit period expires.

•host_ip_address - IP address of server.

•host_alias - Symbolic name of server. (Maximum length: 20 characters)

•port_number - RADIUS server UDP port used for authentication messages. (Range: 1-65535)

•timeout - Number of seconds the switch waits for a reply before resending a request. (Range: 1-65535)

•retransmit - Number of times the switch will try to authenticate logon access via the RADIUS server. (Range: 1-30)

•key - Encryption key used to authenticate logon access for client. Do not use blank spaces in the string. (Maximum length: 20 characters)

Default Setting

•auth-port - 1812

•timeout - 5 seconds
