Is the name of the radius server <name> command locally significant ?

[figniatovits]

Hello ,

I have a question regarding the radius config on the Cat 9k switches.

Device(config)#radius server <server-name> 
Device(config-radius-server)#address ipv4 10.1.1.1
Device(config-radius-server)#key cisco123

Should the name of the configured radius server be something specific or is it locally significant on the switch ?

Thanks in advance.

@figniatovits the <server name> value is locally significant, it does not need to be the FQDN of the real RADIUS server and can be random.

Example I use:

radius server ISE-1
 address ipv4 192.168.10.10 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
 key XXXXXXXX
!
radius server ISE-2
 address ipv4 192.168.10.11 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
 key XXXXXXXX
!
aaa group server radius ISE-RADIUS
 server name ISE-1
 server name ISE-2
