Usage Information

To configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is

configured, use this command. The system searches for the RADIUS hosts in the

order they are configured in the software.

The global default values for the timeout, retransmit, and key optional

parameters are applied, unless those values are specified in the radius-server

host or other commands. To return to the global default values, if you configure

the timeout, retransmit, or key values, include those keywords when using the

no radius-server host command syntax.

Commands

radius-server key — sets an authentication key for RADIUS communications.

radius-server retransmit — sets the number of times the RADIUS server attempts to

send information.

radius-server timeout — sets the time interval before the RADIUS server times out.

radius-server key

Configure a key for all RADIUS communications between the switch and the RADIUS host server.
