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