Configuring RADIUS Server Preshared Keys

You can configure preshared keys for a RADIUS server. A preshared key is a shared secret text string
between the Nexus 5000 Series switch and the RADIUS server host.
To configure radius server 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 host
{ipv4-address | ipv6-address |
host-name} key [0 | 7] key-value
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
Step 4
switch# show radius-server
Step 5
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
