About Users Specifying a RADIUS Server at Login

By default, an MDS switch forwards an authentication request to the first server in the RADIUS server
group. You can configure the switch to allow the user to specify which RADIUS server to send the
authenticate request by enabling the directed request option. If you enable this option, the user can log
in as username@hostname, where the hostname is the name of a configured RADIUS server.
