Purpose
Enters the global configuration mode.
Specifies the shared secret text string used between the switch and all
RADIUS servers.
The key is a text string that must match the encryption key used
Note
on the RADIUS server. Leading spaces are ignored, but spaces
within and at the end of the key are used. If you use spaces in
your key, do not enclose the key in quotation marks unless the
quotation marks are part of the key.
Specifies the number of times the switch sends each RADIUS request
to the server before giving up. The default is 3; the range 1 to 1000.
Specifies the number of seconds a switch waits for a reply to a RADIUS
request before resending the request. The default is 5 seconds; the range
is 1 to 1000.
When a RADIUS server is not responding to authentication requests,
this command specifies a time to stop the request on that server. This
avoids the wait for the request to timeout before trying the next configured
server. The default is 0; the range is 1 to 1440 minutes.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
