Configuring a Second Radius Backup Server on the PIX

[sabushaban]

I have my PIX configured to use Microsoft IAS as a RADIUS (10.1.0.12) :

aaa-server partnerauth protocol radius

aaa-server partnerauth (inside) host 10.1.0.12 xxxxxx timeout 5

crypto map mymap client authentication partnerauth

I need to configure a second Microsoft IAS as a backup radius on the PIX. Is it possible ? if so how ?

Thanks

Hi,

According to the Pix documentation (command reference, aaa-server) , it says that:

Specifies an AAA server or up to 14 groups of servers with a maximum of 14 servers each. Certain types of AAA services can be directed to different servers. Services can also be set up to fail over to multiple servers.

If the above is the case, then the pix should also look at the next available server if the primary fails.

aaa-server partnerauth (inside) host 10.1.0.12 xxxxxx timeout 5

aaa-server partnerauth (inside) host 10.1.0.13 xxxxxx timeout 5

crypto map mymap client authentication partnerauth
