Configuring the Route-Download Server to Download Routes

When you configure the E Series router as a route-download server, you specify the RADIUS server that you want to download the routes to your router. You can also modify the route-download server’s default configuration parameters, such as when to start the download process each day, how often to downloaded routes, and how long to wait after a download error before retrying the process.

To configure a RADIUS route-download server:

1. Specify the IP address and the key of the RADIUS server that you want to download routes.
   host1(config)#radius route-download server 192.168.1.17 host1(config-radius)#key 35radsrv92
2. (Optional) Specify the UDP port used for RADIUS route-download server requests.
   host1(config-radius)#udp-port 1812 host1(config-radius)#exit host1(config)#
3. Enable the route-download feature and optionally modify default parameters as needed.
   host1(config)#aaa route-download 1200 retry-interval 25 password dl1456atl synchronization 03:45:00
4. (Optional) Verify your route-download configuration:

   host1(config)#exit
   host1#show aaa route-download
