Router Interaction with RADIUS Servers Overview
To identify the RADIUS servers that the router can use
and to configure how the router interacts with the servers, you include
the radius-server statement at the [edit access] hierarchy level. You can specify multiple RADIUS servers on the
network.
- [edit access]
-
radius-server server-address {
- accounting-port port-number;
- port port-number;
-
retry attempts;
- secret password;
- sourceaddress source-address;
- timeout seconds;
- }
The following list describes the radius-server configuration statements:
-
server-address—The
address of the RADIUS server to use. To configure more than one RADIUS
server, include multiple server-address entries.
-
accounting-port—The RADIUS server accounting
port number. The default accounting port number is 1813.
-
port-number—The port number used to contact
the RADIUS server. The default is port number 1812.
-
retry—The number of times that the router
attempts to contact a RADIUS accounting server. You can configure
the router to retry from 1 through 16 times. The default setting is
3 retry attempts.
-
secret—The required secret (password) that
the local router passes to the RADIUS client. Secrets can contain
spaces.
-
source-address—A source address for the
RADIUS server. Each RADIUS request sent to a RADIUS server uses the
specified source address. The source address is a valid IPv4 address
configured on one of the router interfaces.
-
timeout—The length of time that the local
router waits to receive a response from a RADIUS server. By default,
the router waits 3 seconds. You can configure the timeout to be from
1 to 90 seconds.
