Configuring RADIUS Authentication (SRC CLI)

Use the following configuration statements to configure information about one or more RADIUS servers on the network at the [edit] hierarchy level:



system radius-server  address  {
port  port ; 
secret  secret  ; 
timeout  timeout;  

 
  retry  retry  ; 
}

To configure information about RADIUS servers for authentication:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that adds a RADIUS server.
Specify a port number on which to contact the RADIUS server.
By default, port number 1812 is used.
Specify a password. Passwords can contain spaces. The secret used by the C-series Controller must match that used by the server.
(Optional) Specify the amount of time that the C-series Controller waits to receive a response from a RADIUS server.
By default, the C-series Controller waits 3 seconds. You can change the timeout to a value from 1 through 90 seconds.
Specify the number of times that the C-series Controller attempts to contact a RADIUS authentication server.
By default, the C-series Controller retry property is set to 3 times. You can change the retry value to a number from 1 through 10 times.

To configure a set of users that share a single account for authorization purposes, you create a template user.
