Usage
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 the timeout, retransmit, and key optional parameters are
applied, unless those values are specified in the radius-server host or other
commands. If you configure the
timeout, retransmit, or key values, you must include
those keywords when using the no radius-server host command syntax to return to
the global default values.
