Define the Security Server—RADIUS

To specify a RADIUS server host, use the radius-server host global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to delete the specified RADIUS host. The syntax is

Rtr1(config)#radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} [auth-port port-number]
 [acct-port port-number] [timeout seconds] [retransmit retries] [key string]
 [alias{hostname | ip-address}]
Rtr1(config)#no radius-server host {hostname | ip-address} [auth-port port-number]
 [acct-port port-number] [timeout seconds] [retransmit retries] [key string]

hostname

DNS name of the RADIUS server.

ip-address

IP address of the RADIUS server.

auth-port

(Optional) To specify a UDP destination port for authentication requests.

port-number

(Optional) Port number for authentication requests. The host isn’t used for authentication if it’s set to 0.

acct-port

(Optional) To specify a UDP destination port for accounting requests.

port-number

(Optional) Port number for accounting requests. The host isn’t used for accounting if it’s set to 0.

Use multiple radius-server host commands to specify multiple hosts. The software searches for hosts in the order in which they’re specified.

The following example specifies host1 as the RADIUS server and uses default ports for both accounting and authentication.

Rtr1(config)#aaa new-model 
Rtr1(config)#radius-server host host1.domain.com

The next example defines port 12 as the destination port for authentication requests and port 16 as the destination port for accounting requests on a RADIUS host named 192.168.1.4. Because entering a line resets all the port numbers, you must specify a host and configure both the accounting and authentication ports on a single line.

Rtr1(config)#aaa new-model 
Rtr1(config)#radius-server host 192.168.1.4 auth-port 12 acct-port 16

To use separate servers for accounting and authentication, use the zero port value, as appropriate. The following example specifies that RADIUS server192.168.1.4 be used for accounting, but not for authentication, and that RADIUS server host1 be used for authentication, but not for accounting:

Rtr1(config)#aaa new-model 
Rtr1(config)#radius-server host 192.168.1.4 auth-port 0
Rtr1(config)#radius-server host host1.domain.com acct-port 0
