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.
Congure this parameter last because leading spaces are ignored.
Defaults Not congured.

Usage Information
To congure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is congured, use this command. Dell
Networking Operating System (OS) searches for the RADIUS hosts in the order they are congured in the
software.
The global default values for the timeout, retransmit, and key optional parameters are applied, unless those
values are specied in the radius-server host or other commands. To return to the global default values, if
you congure the timeout, retransmit, or key values, include those keywords when using the no radius-
server host command syntax.
