Allied Telesis AT-9028 - Specifying a RADIUS Global Encryption Key; Specifying the Server Timeout

AT-9000 Switch Command Line User’s Guide
Section XI: Management Security 1193
The KEY parameter specifies the encryption key used by the designated
RADIUS server. The maximum length is 39 characters. Spaces and
special characters are not allowed.
This example adds the IP address 186.178.11.154 as the first address in
the list of RADIUS servers:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# radius-server host 186.178.11.154 order 1
This example adds the IP address 157.21.188.23 as the second address
in the list. The encryption key is “wha18:”
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# radius-server host 157.21.188.23 order 2 key
wha18
Specifying a
RADIUS Global
Encryption Key
If the RADIUS servers on your network use the same encryption key, use
the RADIUS-SERVER KEY command in the Global Configuration mode to
enter a global encryption key in the client. The format of the command is:
radius-server key secret
This example specifies “4tea23” as the global encryption key of the
RADIUS servers:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# radius-server key 4tea23
To remove the global encryption key without specifying a new value, use
the NO form of this command:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no radius-server key
Specifying the
Server Timeout
When the switch sends an authentication request to a RADIUS server, it
waits a predefined time period for a response. This time period is referred
to as the server timeout value. If the switch does not receive a response to
an authentication request, it queries the next server in the list. If none of
the servers respond, the switch activates the local manager accounts.
To set the server timeout period, use the RADIUS-SERVER TIMEOUT
command in the Global Configuration mode. The range is 1 to 300
seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
