STEP  3 Click Apply. The RADIUS default settings for the device are updated in the 
Running Configuration file.
To add a RADIUS server, click Add.
STEP  4 Enter the values in the fields for each RADIUS server. To use the default values 
entered in the RADIUS page, select Use Default. 
• Server Definition—Select whether to specify the RADIUS server by 
IP address or name.
• IPv6 Address Type—Displays that IPv6 address type is Global. 
• IPv6 Address Type—Select the IPv6 address type (if IPv6 is used). The 
options are:
- Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single 
network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and 
can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link 
local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, 
this entry replaces the address in the configuration.
- Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and 
reachable from other networks.
• Link Local Interface—Select the link local interface (if IPv6 Address Type 
Link Local is selected) from the list. 
• Server IP Address/Name—Enter the RADIUS server by IP address or 
name.
• Priority—Enter the priority of the server. The priority determines the order 
the device attempts to contact the servers to authenticate a user. The device 
starts with the highest priority RADIUS server first. Zero is the highest 
priority.
Key String—Enter the key string used for authenticating and encrypting 
communication between the device and the RADIUS server. This key must 
match the key configured on the RADIUS server. It can be entered in 
Encrypted or Plaintext format. If Use Default is selected, the device 
attempts to authenticate to the RADIUS server by using the default Key 
String.
• Timeout for Reply—Enter the number of seconds the device waits for an 
answer from the RADIUS server before retrying the query, or switching to the 
next server if the maximum number of retries were made. If Use Default is 
selected, the device uses the default timeout value.
