The following entries provide details for each command.

add remoteserver

Adds a RADIUS server to a remote RADIUS server group.

Syntax

add remoteserver [ remoteservergroup = ] remoteservergroup [ address = ] address [ [ acctport = ] acctport [ authport = ] authport [ acctsharedsecret = ] acctsharedsecret [ authsharedsecret = ] authsharedsecret [ requireauthattrib = ] Yes | No [ priority = ] priority [ weight = ] weight [ timeout = ] timeout [ maxdropped = ] maxdropped [ blackout = ] blackout [ notifications = ] Yes | No ]

Parameters

remoteservergroup: Required. Specifies the name of the remote RADIUS server group to which you want to add a RADIUS server.

address: Required. Specifies the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of the RADIUS server that you want to add to the remote RADIUS server group.

acctport: Optional. Specifies the UDP ports that are used for RADIUS accounting messages. The defaults are 1813 and 1646.

requireauthattrib: Optional. Specifies whether use of the message authenticator attribute is used for verification and is required for RADIUS Access-Request messages. If you specify Yes, verification of messages is required by the RADIUS server you are adding to a remote RADIUS server group. If you specify No, verification of messages is not required. The default value is Yes.

priority: Optional. Specifies whether the server is a primary or backup server. Primary servers are specified as one. The default value is one (primary). The value must be between one and 65535.

weight: Optional. Specifies the frequency with which requests are sent to servers in that priority group. The default value is 50. The value must be between one and 65535.

timeout: Optional. Specifies the maximum non-responsive time, in seconds, before the request is considered dropped. The value must be equal to or less than the blackout value. The default value is three.

maxdropped: Optional. Specifies the maximum number of requests that can be dropped before the server is considered to be unavailable. The default value is five.

blackout: Optional. Specifies the time that elapses between requests, in seconds, before the server is considered unavailable. The default is 30.
