Configuring RADIUS server reachability

About this task

Use this procedure to configure the RADIUS server reachability settings.

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Configure the RADIUS keep-alive timer:

radius reachability keep-alive-timer <30-600>
Configure the RADIUS reachability mode:

radius reachability mode <status-server | use-radius>
If you selected use-radius as the RADIUS reachability mode, configure the RADIUS request username and password:

radius reachability username WORD<1-16> password WORD<1-16>
Configure the RADIUS reachability unreachable timer:

radius reachability unreachable-timer <30-600>

Configure values for RADIUS server reachability:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Configure the RADIUS keep-alive timer:

Switch:1(config)#radius reachability keep-alive-timer 30

Configure the RADIUS reachability mode:

Switch:1(config)#radius reachability mode status-server

Configure the RADIUS reachability unreachable timer:

Switch:1(config)#radius reachability unreachable-timer 30

The following table defines parameters for the radius reachability command.


Variable	Value
keep-alive-timer `<30-600>`	Specifies, in seconds, the interval between checks when radius server is reachable. The default is 180 seconds.
mode <status-server \| use-radius>	Specifies status-server mode or use-radius mode. Status-server mode provides a standard-compliant method for RADIUS reachability. Use-radius mode requires the configuration of dummy packets that are sent to RADIUS servers. The default is use-radius mode.
password `WORD<1-16>`	Configures the RADIUS request password. The default is extremenetworks.
unreachable-timer `<30-600>`	Specifies, in seconds, the interval between checks when radius server is unreachable. The default is 60 seconds.
username `WORD<1-16>`	Configures the RADIUS request username. The default is extremenetworks.
