User Guidelines
Names may only be set for authentication servers, not for accounting servers.
Names may consist of alphanumeric characters and the underscore, dash and
blanks.Embed the name in double quotes to use a name with blanks.
NOTE: When multiple radius servers are configured with different names, e.g..
ServerName is name1 and address is 1.1.1.1
ServerName is name2 and address is 1.1.1.2
The radius request is always sent to the first ordered name server list, i.e. name1 server
list would be tried before moving on to name2. Even if the priority value of servers in
name2 is lower (lower value indicates high priority) the request would be sent to the
name1 servers. If for name1 list, the configured servers fail to respond, the request
is sent to the second configured name list.
Within the same server list , the first primary server would be tried. You can have multiple
secondary servers in the same name list. From the multiple secondary servers, the
one with the lowest priority value would be tried. For a different named server list,
the server name would be based on lexicographic order. For e.g.. if name9, name1,
name6 are configured in this order, name1, then name6, then name9 would be tried.
Example
console(config)#radius-server host acct 3.2.3.2
