Introduction Configuring a RADIUS Server

6.8.2.2 Configuration Guidelines
When more than one RADIUS server is configured, note the following;
The PRIORITY parameter allows the user to specify the order in which servers are used. The lower the num-
ber, the higher the priority.
If more than one server is set to the same priority, they are looped through in no specific order. (The order will
follow what appears in the SHOW RADIUS command, but this could change after a system reboot.) Moreover,
if there is a system upgrade to 14.2 and there are existing servers that are part of the RADIUS configuration,
the PRIORITY values of existing servers are set to 1 (the default).
6.8.2.3 Configuration Procedure
The following procedure shows the commands used to set up a RADIUS server.
