> # 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:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that adds a RADIUS server.
>    `
>    [edit]
>    user@host# edit system radius-server address
>    `
> 2. Specify a port number on which to contact the RADIUS server.
>    `
>    [edit system radius-server address ]
>    user@host# set port port
>    `

>    By default, port number 1812 is used.

> 3. Specify a password. Passwords can contain spaces. The secret used by the C Series Controller must match that used by the server.
>    `
>    [edit system radius-server address ]
>    user@host# set secret secret
>    `
> 4. (Optional) Specify the amount of time that the C Series Controller waits to receive a response from a RADIUS server.
>    `
>    [edit system radius-server address ]
>    user@host# set timeout timeout
>    `

>    By default, the C Series Controller waits 3 seconds. You can change the timeout to a value from 1 through 90 seconds.

> 5. Specify the number of times that the C Series Controller attempts to contact a RADIUS authentication server.
>    `
>    [edit system radius-server address ]
>    user@host# set retry retry
>    `

>    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.
