Usage
Information
Use this command to configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server
host that is configured. 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. 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.
