HP Moonshot Switch Module CLI Command Reference
radius server key
This command configures the key to be used in RADIUS client communication with the specified server.
Depending on whether the 'auth' or 'acct' token is used, the shared secret is configured for the RADIUS
authentication or RADIUS accounting server. The IP address or hostname provided must match a previously
configured server. When this command is executed, the secret is prompted.
Text-based configuration supports Radius server’s secrets in encrypted and non-encrypted format. When you
save the configuration, these secret keys are stored in encrypted format only. If you want to enter the key in
encrypted format, enter the key along with the encrypted keyword. In the show running config command’s
display, these secret keys are displayed in encrypted format. You cannot show these keys in plain text format.
Example: The following shows an example of the CLI command.
radius server key acct 10.240.4.10 encrypted encrypt-string
