DES-3550:4#
config authen server_host
Purpose Used to configure a user-defined authentication server host.
Syntax
create authen server_host <ipaddr> protocol [tacacs | xtacacs |
tacacs+] {port <int 1-65535> | key [<key_string 254> | none] |
timeout <int 1-255> | retransmit < 1-255>}
Description This command will configure a user-defined authentication server
host for the tacacs/xtacacs/tacacs+ security protocols on the switch.
When a user attempts to access the switch with authentication
protocol enabled, the switch will send authentication packets to a
remote tacacs/xtacacs/tacacs+ server host on a remote host. The
tacacs/xtacacs/tacacs+ server host will then verify or deny the
request and return the appropriate message to the switch. More than
one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server
host but, remember that tacacs/xtacacs/tacacs+ are separate
entities and are not compatible with each other. The maximum
supported number of server hosts is 16.
Parameters server_host <ipaddr> - The IP address of the remote server host the
user wishes to alter.
protocol – The protocol used by the server host. The user may
choose one of the following:
tacacs – Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
tacacs protocol.
xtacacs - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
xtacacs protocol.
tacacs+ - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
tacacs+ protocol.
port <int 1-65535> Enter a number between 1 and 65535 to define
the virtual port number of the authentication protocol on a server
host. The default port number is 49 for tacacs/xtacacs/tacacs+
servers but the user may set a unique port number for higher
security.
key <key_string 254> - Authentication key to be shared with a
configured TACACS+ server only. Specify an alphanumeric string up
to 254 characters or choose none.
timeout <int 1-255> - Enter the time in seconds the switch will wait
for the server host to reply to an authentication request. The default
value is 5 seconds.
retransmit <int 1-255> - Enter the value in the retransmit field to
