+short_description: Manages AAA server global configuration.
+description:
+    - Manages AAA server global configuration
+extends_documentation_fragment: nxos
+author:
+    - Jason Edelman (@jedelman8)
+notes:
+    - The server_type parameter is always required.
+    - If encrypt_type is not supplied, the global AAA server key will be
+      stored as encrypted (type 7).
+    - Changes to the global AAA server key with encrypt_type=0
+      are not idempotent.
+    - If global AAA server key is not found, it's shown as "unknown"
+    - state=default will set the supplied parameters to their default values.
+      The parameters that you want to default must also be set to default.
+      If global_key=default, the global key will be removed.
+options:
+    server_type:
+        description:
+            - The server type is either radius or tacacs.
