RADIUS servers communicating with the switch, the configured order is used as the
priority for the switch authentication server. If
primary

Switch(Config)#radius-server authentication host 200.1.1.1
19.3.18 radius-server dead-time
Command: radius-server dead-time <minutes>
no radius-server dead-time
Function:
Configures the restore time when RADIUS server is down; the “
no
radius-server dead-time
” command restores the default setting.
Parameters:
< minute >
is the down -restore time for RADIUS server in minutes, the
valid range is 1 to 255.
Command mode:
Global Mode
Default:
The default value is 5 minutes.
Usage Guide:
This command specifies the time to wait for the RADIUS server to recover
from inaccessible to accessible. When the switch acknowledges a server to be
inaccessible, it marks that server as having invalid status, after the interval specified by
this command; the system resets the status for that server to valid.
Example:
Setting the down-restore time for RADIUS server to 3 minutes.
Switch(Config)#radius-server dead-time 3
19.3.19 radius-server key
Command: radius-server key <string>
no radius-server key
Function:
Specifies the key for the RADIUS server (authentication and accounting); the
“no radius-server key” command deletes the key for RADIUS server.
Parameters:
<string>
is a key string for RADIUS server, up to 16 characters are
allowed.
Command mode:
Global Mode
Usage Guide:
The key is used in the encrypted communication between the switch and
the specified RADIUS server. The key set must be the same as the RADIUS server set,
otherwise, proper RADIUS authentication and accounting will not perform properly.
Example:
Setting the RADIUS authentication key to be “test”.
Switch(Config)# radius-server key test
