Meaning

If a RADIUS server was never configured on the virtual router, the command displays the following message:

host1#show radius servers
no radius servers configured

If a RADIUS server was configured previously and then removed on the virtual router, the command displays the following information:

host1#show radius servers

Table 1: show radius servers Output Fields

Field Name	Field Description
IP Address	IP address of RADIUS server
Udp Port	Number of the UDP port of the RADIUS server
Retry Count	Maximum number of times that the router retransmits a RADIUS packet to the RADIUS server
Timeout	Interval (in seconds) before the router retransmits a RADIUS packet to the RADIUS server
Maximum Sessions	Number of outstanding requests to the RADIUS server
Dead Time	Amount of time to remove the authentication server or accounting server from the available list when a timeout occurs
Secret	Configured authentication server or accounting server secret
Status	Status of the configured RADIUS server: dead-The status displayed if the server does not respond within the configured number of retransmit counts, and if Dead Time is configured to a non-zero value. active-The status displayed of the earliest configured, non-dead server if the server is accessed using the direct algorithm. The status displayed of all non-dead servers if the server is accessed using the round-robin algorithm. alive-The status displayed of all non-dead servers except the earliest configured non-dead server, if the server is accessed using the direct algorithm. The status of none of the servers if the server is accessed using the round-robin algorithm.
