radius-server host

Configure a RADIUS server host.

Syntax

radius-server host { hostname | ipv4-address | ipv6-address} [auth-port port-number] [retransmit retries] [timeout seconds] [key [ encryption-type] key]

Parameters

hostname	Enter the name of the RADIUS server host.
ipv4-address \| ipv6-address	Enter the IPv4 address (A.B.C.D) or IPv6 address (X:X:X:X::X) of the RADIUS server host.
auth-port port-number	(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords `auth-port` then a number as the port number. The range is from zero (0) to 65535. The default port-number is 1812.
retransmit retries	(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword `retransmit` then a number as the number of attempts. This parameter overwrites the `radius-server retransmit` command. The range is from zero (0) to 100. The default is 3 attempts.
timeout seconds	(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword `timeout` then the seconds the time interval the switch waits for a reply from the RADIUS server. This parameter overwrites the `radius-server timeout` command. The range is from 0 to 1000. The default is 5 seconds.
key [ encryption-type] key	(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword `key` then an optional encryption-type and a string up to 42 characters long as the authentication key. The RADIUS host server uses this authentication key and the RADIUS daemon operating on this switch. For the encryption-type, enter either zero ( `0`) or `7` as the encryption type for the key entered. The options are: `0` is the default and means the password is not encrypted and stored as clear text. `7` means that the password is encrypted and hidden. Configure this parameter last because leading spaces are ignored.

Not configured.

Usage Information

To configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is configured, use this command. Dell Networking Operating System (OS) searches for the RADIUS hosts in the order they are configured in the software.

The global default values for the timeout, retransmit, and key optional parameters are applied, unless those values are specified in the radius-server host or other commands. To return to the global default values, if you configure the timeout, retransmit, or key values, include those keywords when using the no radius-server host command syntax.
