The network administrator can configure multiple RADIUS Authentication
Servers for different Authentication types. The current available
authentication types are EAP/802.1x authentication and MAC-based
authentication.You can configure two separate sets of Primary and
Secondary RADIUS Servers for each of the two supported Authentication
types, 802.1x EAP Based authentication and MAC based authentication.

servers:
