Table 6-2. RADIUS Configuration Fields
Field Description
Current Server IP Address Shows the IP address of the current server. This field is blank if no
servers are configured. If more than one RADIUS servers are
configured, the current server is the server configured as the primary
server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the current
server is the most recently added RADIUS server.
Number of Configured
Servers
The number of RADIUS servers that have been configured. This value
will be in the range of 0 and 3.
Max Number of
Retransmits
The value of the maximum number of times a request packet is
retransmitted. The valid range is 1-15. Consideration to maximum
delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS maxretransmit
and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the
max retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server
is attempted. A retransmit will not occur until the configured timeout
value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS
server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the
RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times timeout) for all
configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a user
login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the RADIUS
application returns a response.
Timeout Duration (secs) The timeout value, in seconds, for request retransmissions. The valid
range is 1 - 30. Consideration to maximum delay time should be given
when configuring RADIUS maxretransmit and RADIUS timeout. If
multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max retransmit value on
each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A
retransmit will not occur until the configured timeout value on that
server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server.
Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the
RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times timeout) for all
configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a user
login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the RADIUS
application returns a response.
Accounting Mode Use the dropdown menu to select whether the RADIUS accounting
mode is enabled or disabled on the current server.
