About the Default RADIUS Server Encryption Type and Preshared Key

You need to configure the RADIUS preshared key to authenticate the switch to the RADIUS server. The
length of the key is restricted to 64 characters and can include any printable ASCII characters (white
spaces are not allowed). You can configure a global key to be used for all RADIUS server configurations

You can override this global key assignment by explicitly using the key option in the radius-server host
command.
