Specify a RADIUS server host

When configuring a RADIUS server host, you can set different communication parameters, such as the
UDP port, the key password, the number of retries, and the timeout.
To specify a RADIUS server host and configure its communication parameters, use the following
command in the CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax
radius-server host {hostname |
ip-address} [auth-port
port-number] [retransmit retries]
[timeout seconds] [key
[encryption-type] key]
To specify multiple RADIUS server hosts, configure the
multiple RADIUS server hosts are configured, FTOS attempts to connect with them in the order in which
they were configured. When FTOS attempts to authenticate a user, the software connects with the
RADIUS server hosts one at a time, until a RADIUS server host responds with an accept or reject
response.
If you want to change an optional parameter setting for a specific host, use the
command. To change the global communication settings to all RADIUS server hosts, refer to
communication parameters for all RADIUS server hosts on page
