Configuring RADIUS Global Preshared Keys
Configuring RADIUS Global Preshared Keys
You can configure preshared keys at the global level for all servers used by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series
switch. A preshared key is a shared secret text string between the switch and the RADIUS server hosts.
To configure global preshared keys, obtain the preshared key values for the remote RADIUS servers and
perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# radius-server key [0 | 7] key-value
3. switch(config)# exit
4. (Optional) switch# show radius-server
5. (Optional) switch# copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# radius-server key [0 | 7]
key-value
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
Step 4
switch# show radius-server
Step 5
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
The following example shows how to configure the preshared key values for a remote RADIUS server:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server key 0 QsEfThUkO
switch(config)# exit
switch# show radius-server
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring RADIUS Server Preshared Keys
