configured for the same service—for example, authentication—the second host entry configured acts as
the fail-over backup to the first one. The RADIUS host entries are tried in the order that they were
configured.
Follow these steps to configure the RADIUS server parameters on the switch. This procedure is required.

Configures the RADIUS server parameters on the switch.
•
For
hostname
|
ip-address,
specify the host name or IP
address of the remote RADIUS server.
•
For
auth-port
port-number
, specify the UDP
destination port for authentication requests. The default
is 1645.
•
For
key
string
, specify the authentication and
encryption key used between the switch and the
RADIUS daemon running on the RADIUS server. The
key is a text string that must match the encryption key
used on the RADIUS server.
Note
Always configure the key as the last item in the
radius-server host
command syntax because
leading spaces are ignored, but spaces within and at
the end of the key are used. If you use spaces in the
key, do not enclose the key in quotation marks
unless the quotation marks are part of the key. This
key must match the encryption used on the
RADIUS daemon.
•
If you want to use multiple RADIUS servers, repeat this
command.
