Cisco Catalyst 2960-X User Manual

You can configure the Switch to use AAA server groups to group existing server hosts for authentication. For
more information, see Related Topics below.
You also need to configure some settings on the RADIUS server. These settings include the IP address of the
Switch and the key string to be shared by both the server and the Switch. For more information, see the
RADIUS server documentation.
Follow these steps to configure per-server RADIUS server communication.
Before You Begin
If you configure both global and per-server functions (timeout, retransmission, and key commands) on the
switch, the per-server timer, retransmission, and key value commands override global timer, retransmission,
and key value commands. For information on configuring these settings on all RADIUS servers, see Related
Topics below.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.

DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.enable
Step 1
Example:
Switch> enable
Enters the global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Specifies the IP address or hostname of the remote RADIUS server host.
radius-server host {hostname |
ip-address} [auth-port port-number]
Step 3
•
(Optional) For auth-port port-number, specify the UDP destination port
for authentication requests.
[acct-port port-number] [timeout
seconds] [retransmit retries] [key
string]
•
(Optional) For acct-port port-number, specify the UDP destination port for
accounting requests.
Example:
Switch(config)# radius-server
•
(Optional) For timeout seconds, specify the time interval that the Switch
waits for the RADIUS server to reply before resending. The range is 1 to
host 172.29.36.49 auth-port 1612
1000. This setting overrides the radius-server timeout global configuration
