Usage Guidelines
You create a server group for a specific type of authentication or for accounting. The list of servers in a server
group is an ordered list, which means that the first server in the group is always used unless it is unavailable (in
which case, the next server in the list is used). You can configure servers of different types in a server group, for
example, you can include the internal database as a backup to a RADIUS server. You can add the same server to
multiple server groups. There is a predefined server group “internal” that contains the internal database.
Example
The following command configures a server group “corp-servers” with a RADIUS server as the main
authentication server and the internal database as the backup. The command also sets the client’s user role to the
value of the returned “Class” attribute.
aaa server-group corp-servers
auth-server radius1 position 1
auth-server internal position 2
set role condition Class value-of
