Usage Guidelines
You must configure the RADIUS preshared key to authenticate the switch to the RADIUS server. The length
of the key is restricted to 63 characters and can include any printable ASCII characters (white spaces are not
allowed). You can configure a global key to be used for all RADIUS server configurations on the switch. You
can override this global key assignment by using the key keyword in the radius-server host command.
