Configure one or more RADIUS server hosts.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. radius-server host {ipv4-address | ipv6-address | hostname} retransmit count
3. radius-server host {ipv4-address | ipv6-address | hostname} timeout seconds
4. (Optional) show radius {pending | pending-diff}
5. (Optional) radius commit
6. exit
7. (Optional) show radius-server
8. (Optional) copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Specifies the retransmission count for a specific server. The
default is the global value.
radius-server host {ipv4-address | ipv6-address |
hostname} retransmit count
Step 2
Example:
The retransmission count value specified for a
RADIUS server overrides the count specified
for all RADIUS servers.
Note
switch(config)# radius-server host server1
retransmit 3
Specifies the transmission timeout interval for a specific
server. The default is the global value.
radius-server host {ipv4-address | ipv6-address |
hostname} timeout seconds
Step 3
Example:
The timeout interval value specified for a
RADIUS server overrides the interval value
specified for all RADIUS servers.
Note
switch(config)# radius-server host server1 timeout
10
Displays the RADIUS configuration pending for
distribution.
(Optional) show radius {pending | pending-diff}
Example:
Step 4
switch(config)# show radius pending
Applies the RADIUS configuration changes in the
temporary database to the running configuration and
(Optional) radius commit
Example:
Step 5
distributes RADIUS configuration to other Cisco NX-OS
