Configuring RADIUS Authentication with the SRC CLI

Use the following configuration statements to configure information about one or more RADIUS servers on the network at the [edit] hierarchy level:

system radius-server address {
    port port; 
    secret secret ; 
    timeout timeout;
    retry retry ; 
}

To configure information about RADIUS servers for authentication:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that adds a RADIUS server.
  2. [edit]
    
    user@host# edit system radius-server address
    
    
    
  3. Specify a port number on which to contact the RADIUS server.
  4. [edit system radius-server address]
    
    user@host#     set port port 
    
    
    

By default, port number 1812 is used as specified in RFC 2865—Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) (June 2000).

  1. Specify a password. Passwords can contain spaces. The secret used by the C-series Controller must match that used by the server.
  2. [edit system radius-server address]
    
    user@host#     set secret secret
    
    
    
  3. (Optional) Specify the amount of time that the C-series Controller waits to receive a response from a RADIUS server.
  4. [edit system radius-server address]
    
    user@host#     set timeout timeout
    
    
    

By default, the C-series Controller waits 3 seconds. You can change the timeout to a value from 1 through 90 seconds.

  1. Specify the number of times that the C-series Controller attempts to contact a RADIUS authentication server.
  2. [edit system radius-server address]
    
    user@host#     set retry retry
    
    
    

By default, the C-series Controller retry property is set to 3 times. You can change the retry value to a number from 1 through 10 times.

To configure a set of users that share a single account for authorization purposes, you create a template user. See Configuring Template Accounts for RADIUS and TACACS+ Authentication with the SRC CLI.
