User Guidelines
RADIUS servers are keyed by the host name/IP address, therefore it is
advisable to use unique server host names. Use the show aaa servers
{accounting|authentication} command to display the hostname/IP address
to list name mapping.
Multiple authentication servers may be configured with the same name using
the name command.
