Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Modify a RADIUS server:

radius server host WORD <0–46> used-by {cli|eapol|endpoint-tracking|snmp|web} [key WORD<0-32>] [port 1-65536] [priority <1-10>] [retry <0-6>] [timeout <1-180>] [enable] [acct-port <1-65536>] [acct-enable]

Example

Modify a RADIUS server:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#radius server host 4717:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:7933:0001 used-by snmp port 12 retry 5 timeout 10 enable
