Purpose
Enters the global configuration mode.
Specifies the IP address or hostname of the remote RADIUS server host
and identifies that it is using a vendor-proprietary implementation of
RADIUS.
Specifies the shared secret text string used between the switch and the
vendor-proprietary RADIUS server. The switch and the RADIUS server
use this text string to encrypt passwords and exchange responses.
Note The key is a text string that must match the encryption key used
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.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
