radius server key
Use this command to configure the key to be used in RADIUS client communication with the
specified server. Depending on whether the 'auth' or 'acct' token is used, the shared secret is
configured for the RADIUS authentication or RADIUS accounting server. The IP address or
hostname provided must match a previously configured server. When this command is
executed, the secret is prompted.
Text-based configuration supports Radius server’s secrets in encrypted and non-encrypted
format. When you save the configuration, these secret keys are stored in encrypted format
only. If you want to enter the key in encrypted format, enter the key along with the encrypted
keyword. In the show running config command’s display, these secret keys are displayed in
encrypted format. You cannot show these keys in plain text format.
Note: The secret must be an alphanumeric value not exceeding 16
characters.
