radius-server hostDell™ PowerConnect™ 3324/3348 Switch CLI Guide
Use the radius-server host global configuration command to specify a RADIUS server host. To delete the specified RADIUS host, use the no form of this command.
radius-server host ip-address [auth-port auth-port-number] [timeout timeout] [retransmit retries] [deadtime deadtime] [key key-string] [source source] [priority priority]
no radius-server host ip-address
If no RADIUS host is specified, the global radius-server command values are used as the default.
Global Configuration Mode
To specify multiple hosts, multiple radius-server host commands can be used.
If no host-specific timeout, retransmit, deadtime or key values are specified, the global values apply to each host.
The following example specifies a RADIUS server host with the following characteristics:
Console (config)# radius-server host 192.168.10.1 auth-port 1256 timeout 20 |
The radius-server key global configuration command sets the authentication and encryption key for all RADIUS communications between the device and the RADIUS daemon. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command.
radius-server key key-string
no radius-server key
The default is an empty string.
Global Configuration Mode
There are no user guidelines for this command.
The following example sets the authentication and encryption key for all RADIUS communications between the device and the RADIUS daemon to dell-server.
Console (config)# radius-server key dell-server |
Use the radius-server retransmit global configuration command to specify the number of times the software searches the list of RADIUS server hosts. To reset the default configuration, use the no form of this command.
radius-server retransmit retries
no radius-server retransmit
The default is 3 attempts.
Global Configuration Mode
There are no user guidelines for this command.
The following example configures the number of times the software searches the list of RADIUS server hosts (5 attempts).
Console (config)# radius-server retransmit 5 |
Use the radius-server source-ip global configuration command to specify the source IP address used for communication with RADIUS servers. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
radius-server source-ip source
no radius-server-ip
The default IP address is the outgoing IP interface.
Global Configuration Mode
There are no user guidelines for this command.
The following example configures the source IP address used for communication with RADIUS servers.
Console (config)# radius-server source-ip 10.1.1.1 |
Use the radius-server timeout global configuration command to set the interval for which a device waits for a server host to reply. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.
radius-server timeout timeout
no radius-server timeout
The default value is 3 seconds.
Global Configuration Mode
There are no user guidelines for this command.
The following example sets the interval for which a device waits for a server host to reply.
Console (config)# radius-server timeout 5 |
Use the radius-server deadtime global configuration command to improve RADIUS response times when servers are unavailable. The command is used to cause the unavailable servers to be skipped. To reset the default value, use the no form of this command.
radius-server deadtime deadtime
no radius-server deadtime
The default dead time is 0 minutes.
Global Configuration Mode
There are no user guidelines for this command.
The following example sets a dead time where a RADIUS server is skipped over by transaction requests.
Console (config)# radius-server deadtime 10 |
Use the show radius-servers privileged EXEC command to display the RADIUS server settings.
show radius-servers
This command has no default configuration.
Privileged EXEC Mode
There are no user guidelines for this command.
The following example displays the RADIUS server settings.
