RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
Configuring RADIUS Accounting
Syntax: [no] radius-server host < ip-address >
Adds a server to the RADIUS configuration or (with no)
deletes a server from the configuration.
[acct-port < port-number >]
Optional. Changes the UDP destination port for
accounting requests to the specified RADIUS server. If
you do not use this option, the switch automatically
assigns the default accounting port number. (Default:
1813)
[key < key-string >]
Optional. Specifies an encryption key for use during
accounting or authentication sessions with the speci
fied server. This key must match the encryption key
used on the RADIUS server. Use this command only if
the specified server requires a different encryption key
than configured for the global encryption key.
(For a more complete description of the radius-server command and its
options, turn to page
5-10.)
For example, suppose you want to the switch to use the RADIUS server
described below for both authentication and accounting purposes.
■ IP address: 10.33.18.151
■ A non-default UDP port number of 1750 for accounting.
For this example, assume that all other RADIUS authentication parameters
for accessing this server are acceptable at their default settings, and that
RADIUS is already configured as an authentication method for one or more
types of access to the switch (Telnet, Console, etc.).
