RADIUS is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled. The mandatory commands to enable RADIUS on the local router are radius and server server-index address ip-address secret key.
Also, the system IP address must be configured in order for the RADIUS client to work. For more information, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Router Configuration Guide, "Configuring a System Interface".
The other commands are optional. The server command adds a RADIUS server and configures the RADIUS server’s IP address, index, and key values. The index determines the sequence in which the servers are queried for authentication requests.
On the local router, use the following CLI commands to configure RADIUS authentication.
CLI syntax:
config>system>security
radius
port port
retry count
server server-index address ip-address secret key
timeout seconds
no shutdown The following displays a RADIUS authentication configuration example:
A:ALA-1>config>system>security# info
----------------------------------------------
retry 5
timeout 5
server 1 address 10.10.10.103 secret "test1"
server 2 address 10.10.0.1 secret "test2"
server 3 address 10.10.0.2 secret "test3"
server 4 address 10.10.0.3 secret "test4"
