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.

Usage
Information
To configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is
configured, use this command. The system 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.
