create authen server_host
Purpose Used to create an authentication server host.
Syntax
create authen server_host <ipaddr> protocol [tacacs | xtacacs |
tacacs+ | radius] {port <int 1-65535> | key [<key_string 254> |
none] | timeout <int 1-255> | retransmit < 1-255>}
Description This command will create an authentication server host for the
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS 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+ or RADIUS
server host on a remote host. The TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ or
RADIUS 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+ and RADIUS 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 to
add.
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.
radius - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
RADIUS 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.
The default port number of the authentication protocol on the RADIUS
server is 1812.
key <key_string 254> - Authentication key to be shared with a
configured TACACS+ server only. Specify an alphanumeric string up
to 254 characters.
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
change how many times the device will resend an authentication
request when the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ or RADIUS server
does not respond.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create a TACACS+ authentication server host, with port number 1234, a timeout value of 10 seconds and a
retransmit count of 5.
