server (RADIUS)
To associate a particular RADIUS server with a defined server group, use the server command in RADIUS
server-group configuration mode. To remove the associated server from the server group, use the no form of
this command.
server ip-address [auth-port port-number] [acct-port port-number]
no server ip-address [auth-port port-number] [acct-port port-number]
Syntax Description
IP address of the RADIUS server host.
ip-address
(Optional) Specifies the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) destination port for
authentication requests. The port-number argument specifies the port number
for authentication requests. The host is not used for authentication if this value
is set to 0. Default is 1645.
auth-port port-number
(Optional) Specifies the UDP destination port for accounting requests. The
port-number argument specifies the port number for accounting requests. The
host is not used for accounting services if this value is set to 0. Default is 1646.
acct-port port-number

Usage Guidelines
Use the server command to associate a particular RADIUS server with a defined server group.
There are two different ways in which you can identify a server, depending on the way you want to offer AAA
services. You can identify the server simply by using its IP address, or you can identify multiple host instances
or entries using the optional auth-port and acct-port keywords.
When you use the optional keywords, the network access server identifies RADIUS security servers and host
instances associated with a group server based on their IP address and specific UDP port numbers. The
combination of the IP address and UDP port number creates a unique identifier, allowing different ports to
be individually defined as RADIUS host entries providing a specific AAA service. If two different host entries
