Information
Use this command to configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server
host that is configured. FTOS searches for the RADIUS hosts in the order they are
configured in the software.
The global default values for timeout, retransmit, and key optional parameters are
applied, unless those values are specified in the radius-server host or other
commands. If you configure timeout, retransmit, or key values, you must include
those keywords when entering the no radius-server host command syntax to return to
the global default values.

Commands
timeout seconds (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword timeout followed by the
seconds the time interval the switch waits for a reply from the
RADIUS server. This parameter overwrites the radius-server
timeout command.
Range: 0 to 1000
Default: 5 seconds
key [encryption-type] key (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword key followed by an optional
encryption-type and a string up to 42 characters long as the
authentication key. This authentication key is used by the
RADIUS host server 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.
