[encryption-type] key]
Parameters

the RADIUS server host.
auth-port port-
number
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords auth-port then a number as
the port number. The range is from zero (0) to 65535. The
default port-number is 1812.
retransmit retries (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword retransmit then a number as
the number of attempts. This parameter overwrites the radius-

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.

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.
