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.
[edit] user@host# edit system radius-server address
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.
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
(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.
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.
