timeout seconds (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword timeout then the seconds
the time interval the switch waits for a reply from the
RADIUS server. This parameter overwrites the radius-
server timeout
command. The range is from 0 to 1000.
The default is 5 seconds.
key [encryption-
type] key
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword key then an optional
encryption-type and a string up to 42 characters long as the
authentication key. The RADIUS host server uses this
authentication key and the RADIUS daemon operating on
this switch.
For the encryption-type, enter either zero (0) or 7 as the
encryption type for the key entered. The options are:
• 0 is the default and means the password is not
encrypted and stored as clear text.
• 7 means that the password is encrypted and hidden.
Configure this parameter last because leading spaces are
ignored.
Defaults Not configured.

Usage Information
To configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is
configured, use this command. Dell Networking Operating System (OS) 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.
