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.
