Adding IP
Addresses of
RADIUS Servers
The RADIUS client can store up to three IP addresses of RADIUS servers
on your network. The order that you add an IP address determines its
order on the switch. For instance, the first IP address that you add
becomes server one, the second IP address that you add becomes server
two, and the third IP address that you add becomes server three. Also,
when you remove an IP address from the switch, the IP addresses below
it are moved up. For example, if you make the following assignments:
server one is 186.178.11.154
server two is 186.178.11.156
server three is 186.178.11.158
If you delete server one with an IP address of 186.178.11.154, server two
remains the IP address of 186.178.11.156 and moves up to server one in
the list, and the IP address of 186.178.11.158 moves up to server two. As
a result, the next server address that you add to the switch is added to the
bottom of the list and becomes server three.
To add an IP address, use the RADIUS-SERVER HOST command in the
Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the command:
radius-server host
ipaddress
[acct-port
value
] [auth-port
value
] [key
value
]
You can add only one address at a time with this command.
The HOST parameter specifies the IP address of a RADIUS server on the
network.
The ACCT-PORT parameter specifies the accounting port. This is the
UDP destination port for RADIUS accounting requests. If 0 is specified,
the server is not used for accounting. The default UDP port for accounting
is 1813.
