Usage
Information
Use this command to configure any number of RADIUS server hosts for each server host that is
configured. FTOS searches for the RADIUS hosts in the order they are configured in the
software.
The global default values for the
timeout
,
retransmit
, and
key
optional parameters are
applied, unless those values are specified in the
radius-server host

commands. If you configure the
timeout
,

those keywords when using the

command syntax to return to
the global default values.
