Description
This set of commands is used to specify a radius server that the
router will use for authentication. The
radius-server
host command
allows you to specify which radius server to use, either by hostname
or IP address. You can define more than one radius server; the router
attempts to contact the servers in the order that you specify.
The
radius-server
key command specifies the encryption string to be
used for communication with the radius server. Obviously, this string
must match the setting on the radius server. If you use multiple
servers, they must all share the same key.
The
retransmit
and
timeout forms of this command specify the number
of times the router searches the list of radius servers before giving
up, and the amount of time that it will wait for any given server to
reply before retrying.
