Usage
TheD‐Seriesdeviceallowsupto10RADIUSaccountingserverstobeconfigured,withuptotwo
serversactiveatanygiventime.
TheRADIUSclientcanonlybeenabledontheswitchonceaRADIUSserverisonline,anditsIP

Note: If RADIUS is configured with no host IP address on the device, it will use the loopback
interface 0 IP address (if it has been configured) as its source for the NAS-IP attribute. For
information about configuring loopback interfaces, refer to “interface” on page 16-3.
