Switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies the IP address or hostname of the remote RADIUS server host
and identifies that it is using a vendor-proprietary implementation of
RADIUS.

Switch(config)# radius-server host
Step 2

vendor-proprietary RADIUS server. The switch and the RADIUS server
use this text string to encrypt passwords and exchange responses.

Example:
Switch(config)# radius-server key
Step 3
The key is a text string that must match the encryption key used
on the RADIUS server. Leading spaces are ignored, but spaces
within and at the end of the key are used. If you use spaces in
your key, do not enclose the key in quotation marks unless the
quotation marks are part of the key.
