Setting Global Communication Parameters for all RADIUS Server Hosts

You can configure global communication parameters (auth-port, key, retransmit, and timeout parameters) and specific host communication parameters on the same system.

However, if you configure both global and specific host parameters, the specific host parameters override the global parameters for that RADIUS server host.

To set global communication parameters for all RADIUS server hosts, use the following commands.

  • Set a time interval after which a RADIUS host server is declared dead.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    radius-server deadtime seconds
    • seconds: the range is from 0 to 2147483647. The default is 0 seconds.
  • Configure a key for all RADIUS communications between the system and RADIUS server hosts.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    radius-server key [encryption-type] key
    • encryption-type: enter 7 to encrypt the password. Enter 0 to keep the password as plain text.
    • key: enter a string. The key can be up to 42 characters long. You cannot use spaces in the key.
  • Configure the number of times Dell EMC Networking OS retransmits RADIUS requests.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    radius-server retransmit retries
    • retries: the range is from 0 to 100. Default is 3 retries.
  • Configure the time interval the system waits for a RADIUS server host response.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    radius-server timeout seconds
    • seconds: the range is from 0 to 1000. Default is 5 seconds.
To view the configuration of RADIUS communication parameters, use the show running-config command in EXEC Privilege mode.
