b.

If this is a new AAA Server, in the AAA Server Name box, type a name for the
remote AAA server.
In the AAA Server IP Address box, type the IP address assigned to the remote
AAA server.
In the Key box, type the shared secret that the remote AAA server and the
Cisco Secure ACS use to encrypt the data.
Note The key is case sensitive. If the keys between the two AAA servers are
not identical when authentication is forwarded, the request is
incorrectly encrypted and authentication fails.
From the Network Device Group list, select the NDG to which this AAA Server
belongs.
Note To enable NDGs, click Interface Configuration, click Advanced
Options, and then click Network Device Groups.
To enable Watchdog packets, select the Log Update/Watchdog Packets from

periodically during a session. They serve to enable an approximation of session
length in the event that no stop packet is received to mark the end of the session.
