create authen server_host
Purpose Used to create an authentication server host.
Syntax
create authen server_host <ipaddr> protocol [tacacs | xtacacs
| tacacs+ | radius] {port <int 1-65535> | key [<key_string 254> |
none] | timeout <int 1-255> | retransmit < 1-255>}
Description This command will create an authentication server host for the
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS security protocols on
the Switch. When a user attempts to access the Switch with
authentication protocol enabled, the Switch will send authentication
packets to a remote TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ or RADIUS
server host on a remote host. The TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+
or RADIUS server host will then verify or deny the request and
return the appropriate message to the Switch. More than one
authentication protocol can be run on the same physical server host
but, remember that TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS
are separate entities and are not compatible with each other. The
maximum supported number of server hosts is 16.
Parameters server_host <ipaddr> - The IP address of the remote server host to
add.
protocol – The protocol used by the server host. The user may
choose one of the following:
port <int 1-65535> - Enter a number between 1 and 65535 to
define the virtual port number of the authentication protocol on a
server host. The default port number is 49 for
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ servers but the user may set a
unique port number for higher security. The default port number of
the authentication protocol on the RADIUS server is 1812.
key – Authentication key to be shared with a configured TACACS+
server only.
tacacs – Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
TACACS protocol.
xtacacs - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
XTACACS protocol.
tacacs+ - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes
the TACACS+ protocol.
radius - Enter this parameter if the server host utilizes the
RADIUS protocol.
