multiple RADIUS authentication servers

tstout
Level 1
Level 1

i have a PIX 515 (6.1(2)) that accepts VPN connections. i'm currently using an internal RADIUS server (NT4.0 IAS) for authentication, and that works very well. however, i need to be able to authenticate to 2 different RADIUS servers (in 2 different NT4.0 domains) on a per-user basis.

my current working, single domain config looks similar to this:

aaa-server RADIUS protocol radius

aaa-server partnerauth protocol radius

aaa-server partnerauth (inside) host x.x.x.1 password1 timeout 5

i've tried the following, but of course the second radius server is only queried if the first one fails to answer, not in the event of a failed authentication:

aaa-server RADIUS protocol radius

aaa-server partnerauth protocol radius

aaa-server partnerauth (inside) host x.x.x.1 password1 timeout 5

aaa-server partnerauth (inside) host x.x.x.2 password2 timeout 5

can this be accomplished inside the pix itself, or do i need to set up a proxy radius server to handle it?

thanks in advance!

You can't do this on the PIX itself, it will only go to the second or subsequent servers if the first server is not available.
