retransmit
retries
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword retransmit then a number as the number
of attempts. This parameter overwrites the radius-server retransmit
command. The range is from zero (0) to 100. The default is 3 attempts.
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.
Configure this parameter last because leading spaces are ignored.
Defaults Not configured.

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