DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters the global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies the shared secret text string used between the switch and
all RADIUS servers.
radius-server key string
Example:
Switch(config)# radius-server key
Step 2
The key is a text string that must match the encryption key
used on the RADIUS server. Leading spaces are ignored,
but spaces within and at the end of the key are used. If you
use spaces in your key, do not enclose the key in quotation
marks unless the quotation marks are part of the key.
Note
your_server_key
Switch(config)# key your_server_key
Specifies the number of times the switch sends each RADIUS request
to the server before giving up. The default is 3; the range 1 to 1000.
radius-server retransmit retries
Example:
Switch(config)# radius-server retransmit
Step 3
5
Specifies the number of seconds a switch waits for a reply to a
RADIUS request before resending the request. The default is 5
seconds; the range is 1 to 1000.
radius-server timeout seconds
Example:
Switch(config)# radius-server timeout 3
Step 4
When a RADIUS server is not responding to authentication requests,
this command specifies a time to stop the request on that server.
radius-server deadtime minutes
Example:
Switch(config)# radius-server deadtime
Step 5
This avoids the wait for the request to timeout before trying the next
configured server. The default is 0; the range is 1 to 1440 minutes.
