RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Configuring the Switch for RADIUS Authentication

■ Global server key: The server key the switch will use for contacts

with all RADIUS servers for which there is not a server-specific key

configured by radius-server host < ip-address > key < key-string >. This

key is optional if you configure a server-specific key for each RADIUS

server entered in the switch. (Refer to “3. Configure the Switch To

Access a RADIUS Server” on page 5-15.)

■ Server timeout: Defines the time period in seconds for authentica-

tion attempts. If the timeout period expires before a response is

received, the attempt fails.

■ Server dead time: Specifies the time in minutes during which the

switch avoids requesting authentication from a server that has not

responded to previous requests.

■ Retransmit attempts: If the first attempt to contact a RADIUS

server fails, specifies how many retries you want the switch to attempt

on that server.

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)
