radius-server key

Configures the value that the device sends to the RADIUS server when trying to authenticate user access.
Syntax
radius-server key key-string
no radius-server key key-string
Command Default

The RADIUS server key is not configured.

Parameters
key-string

Specifies the key as an ASCII string. The value for the key parameter on the device should match the one configured on the RADIUS server. The key can be from 1 through 64 characters in length and cannot include any space characters.

Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The radius-server key command is used to encrypt RADIUS packets before they are sent over the network.

The no form of the command removes the RADIUS server key configuration.

The radius-server host command and the radius-server key command must be entered on the same command line to configure the ICX device to authenticate end devices through 802.1x or MAC authentication.

Examples

The following example configures a RADIUS server key for a RADIUS server that will handle 802.1x authentication. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# radius-server host 10.2.3.4 auth-port 1800 acct-port 1850 default key abc dot1x
