Usage Guidelines You need to configure the RADIUS preshared key to authenticate the switch to the RADIUS server. The
length of the key is restricted to 65 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
on the switch. You can override this global key assignment by explicitly using the key option in the
radius-server host command.
Examples The following examples provide various scenarios to configure RADIUS authentication.
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# radius-server key AnyWord
switch(config)# radius-server key 0 AnyWord
