Chapter 1 Configuring RADIUS
Configuring RADIUS Servers
The following example shows how to configure periodic RADIUS server monitoring:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server host 10.10.1.1 test username user1 password Ur2Gd2BH
idle-time 3
switch(config)# radius-server deadtime 5
switch(config)# exit
switch# show radius-server
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring the Dead-Time Interval
You can configure the dead-time interval for all RADIUS servers. The dead-time interval specifies the
time that the Nexus 5000 Series switch waits after declaring a RADIUS server is dead, before sending
out a test packet to determine if the server is now alive. The default value is 0 minutes.
Note When the dead-time interval is 0 minutes, RADIUS servers are not marked as dead even if they are not
responding. You can configure the dead-time interval for a RADIUS server group (see the “Configuring
RADIUS Server Groups” section on page 1-8).
To configure dead time interval, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
#switch(config)# radius-server deadtime
Configures the dead-time interval. The default value is
0 minutes. The range is from 1 to 1440 minutes.
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
Exits configuration mode.
Step 4
switch# show radius-server
(Optional) Displays the RADIUS server configuration.
Step 5
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
