Configuring RADIUS
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.
To configure radius server groups, perform this task:

Configuring RADIUS Server Groups
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Creates a RADIUS server group and enters the RADIUS
server group configuration submode for that group. The
group-name argument is a case-sensitive alphanumeric
string with a maximum length of 127 characters.
Configures the RADIUS server as a member of the
RADIUS server group.
If the specified RADIUS server is not found, configure it
using the radius-server host command and retry this
command.
(Optional)
Configures the monitoring dead time. The default is 0
minutes. The range is from 1 through 1440.
Note
If the dead-time interval for a RADIUS server
group is greater than zero (0), that value takes
precedence over the global dead-time value. See
the example that shows how to configure periodic
RADIUS server monitoring.
Exits configuration mode.
(Optional)
Displays the RADIUS server group configuration.
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
