N Series RADIUS key requirements
Does anyone know the N-Series (specifically the N2048) requirements/restrictions for the RADIUS shared key?
I couldn't get it to work with the same shared key I used in previous generation switches (5424).
Either it doesn't support special characters such as !&%^ or the length limit is smaller than before. I finally got it working with a 32 character key with no special characters. I couldn't find any documented limits.

The CLI guide specifies 32 characters, but does not mention anything about special characters. What firmware is the switch on? The release notes for the latest firmware show that their have been some improvements to RADIUS/TACACS over the span of several revisions. May be worth it to update and test.

I'm running 6.3.0.15. I think my problem may have been that I wasn't enclosing the string in double quotes. I found the section in the CLI guide that calls out a requirement for double quotes when using special characters.
