The following example shows how to configure a RADIUS server host:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server host 10.10.1.1
switch(config)# exit
switch# show radius-server
switch# copy running-config startup-config

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
Step 4
switch# show radius-server
Step 5
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
The following example shows how to obtain the preshared key values for a remote RADIUS server:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server key 0 QsEfThUkO
switch(config)# exit
switch# show radius-server
switch# copy running-config startup-config

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:

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies a preshared key for all RADIUS servers. You
can specify a clear text (0) or encrypted (7) preshared
key. The default format is clear text. The maximum
length is 63 characters.
By default, no preshared key is configured.
Exits configuration mode.
(Optional) Displays the RADIUS server configuration.
The preshared keys are saved in encrypted

form in the running configuration. Use the
show running-config command to display the
encrypted preshared keys.
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
