RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Configuring the Switch for RADIUS Authentication

Note Where the switch has multiple RADIUS servers configured to support authen-

tication requests, if the first server fails to respond, then the switch tries the

next server in the list, and so-on. If none of the servers respond, then the switch

attempts to use the secondary authentication method configured for the type

of access being attempted (console, Telnet, or SSH). If this occurs, refer to

“RADIUS-Related Problems” in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Manage-

ment and Configuration Guide for your switch.

Syntax: aaa authentication num-attempts < 1 - 10 >

Specifies how many tries for entering the correct user-

name and password before shutting down the session

due to input errors. (Default: 3; Range: 1 - 10).

[no] radius-server

key < global-key-string >

Specifies the global encryption key the switch uses with

servers for which the switch does not have a server-

specific key assignment. This key is optional if all

RADIUS server addresses configured in the switch

include a server-specific encryption key. (Default:

Null.)

dead-time < 1 - 1440 >

Optional. Specifies the time in minutes during which

the switch will not attempt to use a RADIUS server that

has not responded to an earlier authentication attempt.

(Default: 0; Range: 1 - 1440 minutes)

radius-server timeout < 1 - 15 >

Specifies the maximum time the switch waits for a

response to an authentication request before counting

the attempt as a failure. (Default: 3 seconds; Range: 1

- 15 seconds)

radius-server retransmit < 1 - 5 >

If a RADIUS server fails to respond to an authentica-

tion request, specifies how many retries to attempt

before closing the session. (Default: 3; Range: 1 - 5)
