Remote RADIUS Server Group commands
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.
- authport
Optional. Specifies the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports that are used for RADIUS authentication messages. The defaults are 1812 and 1645.
- acctsharedsecret
Optional. Specifies the shared secret used for RADIUS accounting messages.
- authsharedsecret
Optional. Specifies the shared secret used for RADIUS authentication messages.
- 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.
- notifications
Optional. Specifies whether the RADIUS server forwards start and stop notifications. If you specify Yes, the RADIUS server forwards notifications. If you specify No, the RADIUS server does not forward notifications. The default value is Yes.
Example
The following example adds a RADIUS server named nps-01.example.com to a remote RADIUS server group named Servers1.
add remoteserver remoteservergroup = "Servers1" address = nps-01.example.com
add remoteservergroup
Adds a remote RADIUS server group to which you want to forward connection requests.
Syntax
addremoteservergroup [name =] name
Parameters
- name
Required. Specifies the name of the remote RADIUS server group that you want to add to the Network Policy Server (NPS) configuration.
delete remoteserver
Deletes the specified RADIUS server from the specified remote RADIUS server group.
Syntax
delete remoteserver [remoteservergroup =] remoteservergroup [address = ] address
Parameters
- remoteservergroup
Required. Specifies the name of the remote RADIUS server group from which you want to delete a server.
- address
Required. Specifies the FQDNor the IP address of the RADIUS server that you want to delete from the remote RADIUS server group.
delete remoteservergroup
Deletes a remote RADIUS server group from the NPS server configuration. If you delete a remote RADIUS server group, all RADIUS servers contained within the group are deleted.
Syntax
delete remoteservergroup [name =] name
Parameters
- name
Required. Specifies the name of the remote RADIUS server group that you want to delete.
Example
The following example deletes a remote RADIUS server group named Servers1 from the NPS server configuration.
delete remoteservergroup name = Servers1
rename remoteserver
Specifies a new FQDN or IP address for an existing remote RADIUS server that is a member of an existing remote RADIUS server group.
Syntax
rename remoteserver [ remoteservergroup = ] remoteservergroup [ address = ] address [ newaddress = ] newaddress
Parameters

Required. Specifies the name of the remote RADIUS server group that contains the remote RADIUS server that you want to rename.
- address
Required. Specifies the FQDNor the IP address of the RADIUS server that you want to rename.
- newaddress
Required. Specifies the new FQDN or IP address of the RADIUS server that you want to rename.
Example
The following example changes the name of the server Server1.adatum.com in the remote RADIUS server group Servers1 to RADIUS-01. adatum.com.
rename remoteserver remoteservergroup = "Servers1" address = "Server1.adatum.com" newaddress = "RADIUS-01.adatum.com"
rename remoteservergroup
Renames the specified remote RADIUS server group.
