This page provides fields that must be entered individually for a server.
STEP 3 Enter the fields for each server. To use the default values entered in the RADIUS
Page, select Use Default.
• IP Version—Select the IP version of the RADIUS server IP address.
• Server IP Address—Enter the address of the RADIUS server.
• Priority—Enter the priority of the server. The priority determines the order
the switch attempts to contact the servers to authenticate a user. The switch
will start with the highest priority RADIUS server first. Zero is the highest
priority.
• Key String—Enter the key string used for authenticating and encrypting the
RADIUS attributes communicated between the switch and the RADIUS
server. This key must match the key configured on the individual Radius
server. If this field is left blank, the switch attempts to authenticate to the
RADIUS server by using the default Key String.
• Timeout for Reply—Enter the number of seconds the switch waits for an
answer from the RADIUS server before retrying the query, or switching to the
next server. If there is no value entered in this field, the switch uses the
default timeout value.
• Authentication Port—Enter the UDP port number of the RADUS server for
authentication requests.
• Accounting Port—Enter the UDP port number of the RADUS server for
accounting requests.
• Number of Retries—Enter the number of requests that are sent to the
RADIUS server before a failure is considered to have occurred. Select Use
Default to use the default value for the number of retries.
• Dead Time—Enter the number of minutes that must pass before a non-
responsive RADIUS server is bypassed for service requests. Select Use
Default to use the default value for the dead time. If you enter 0 minutes,
there is no dead time.
