The status and can be one of the following: - Active - When the switch sends a RADIUS request to the named server, the request is directed to the server selected as the active server. Initially the primary server is selected as the active server. If the primary server fails, one of the other servers becomes the active server. If the primary server is not configured, the active server is the most recently configured RADIUS server. - Inactive - The server is a backup RADIUS server. - RADIUS Server Name - Shows the RADIUS server name.
