Configuring Radius Server Groups - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring RADIUS
To configure radius server preshared keys, obtain the preshared key values for the remote RADIUS servers
and perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# radius-server host {ipv4-address | ipv6-address | host-name} key [0 | 7] key-value
3. switch(config)# exit
4. (Optional) switch# show radius-server
5. (Optional) switch# copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# radius-server host
{ipv4-address | ipv6-address | host-name}
key [0 | 7] key-value
Step 3 switch(config)# exit
Step 4 switch# show radius-server
Step 5 switch# copy running-config
startup-config
The following example shows how to configure a preshared keys for a RADIUS server:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server host 10.10.1.1 key 0 PlIjUhYg
switch(config)# exit
switch# show radius-server
switch# copy running-config startup-config

Configuring RADIUS Server Groups

You can specify one or more remote AAA servers for authentication using server groups. All members of a
group must belong to the RADIUS protocol. The servers are tried in the same order in which you configure
them.
You can configure these server groups at any time but they only take effect when you apply them to an AAA
service.
OL-20919-01
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies a preshared key for a specific RADIUS server. You can
specify a clear text ( 0 ) or encrypted ( 7 ) preshared key. The default
format is clear text. The maximum length is 63 characters.
This preshared key is used instead of the global preshared key.
Exits configuration mode.
(Optional)
Displays the RADIUS server configuration.
The preshared keys are saved in encrypted form in the running
Note
configuration. Use the show running-config command to
display the encrypted preshared keys.
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup configuration.
