create authen server_host
More than one authentication protocol can be run on the same physical
server host but, remember that TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/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 and
1812 and 1813 for RADIUS servers but the user may set a unique port
number for higher security.
key <key_string 254> - Authentication key to be shared with a configured
TACACS+ or RADIUS server only. Specify an alphanumeric string up to
254 characters.
timeout <int 1-255> - Enter the time in seconds the Switch will wait for the
server host to reply to an authentication request. The default value is 5
seconds.
retransmit <int 1-255> - Enter the value in the retransmit field to change
how many times the device will resend an authentication request when
the server does not respond.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
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.
Example usage:
To create a TACACS+ authentication server host, with port number 1234, a timeout value of 10 seconds and a retransmit
count of 5.

config authen server_host
Purpose Used to configure a user-defined authentication server host.
Syntax
create authen server_host <ipaddr> protocol [tacacs | xtacacs
| tacacs+ | radius] {port <int 1-65535> | key [<key_string 254> |

Description This command will configure a user-defined authentication server
host for the TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS security
protocols on the Switch. When a user attempts to access the
Switch with the authentication protocol enabled, the Switch will
send authentication packets to a remote
