Configuring Global Preshared Keys
You can configure preshared keys at the global level for all servers used by the Nexus 5000 Series switch.
A preshared key is a shared secret text string between the Nexus 5000 Series switch and the RADIUS
server hosts.
To configure global preshared keys, obtain the preshared key values for the remote RADIUS servers and
perform this task:
:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# radius-server key [0 |
7] key-value
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
