merged configuration is applied to CFS distribution-enabled switches.
When merging the fabric, be aware of the following conditions:
•
•
•
•
If there is a conflict between two switches in the server ports configured, the merge fails.
Caution
Use the show radius distribution status command to view the status of the RADIUS fabric merge as
shown in
