I did IOS upgrade in 4510R+E to #show version 
Cisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Switch Software (cat4500e-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 03.09.01.E RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) 

post booting switch lost radius config & when try to reconfigure, it's not accepting it. 

I am getting below error frequently now.
