Configuring Radius Schemes - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Configuring RADIUS schemes

A RADIUS scheme specifies the RADIUS servers that the device can work with and defines a set of
parameters. The device uses the parameters to exchange information with the RADIUS servers,
including the server IP addresses, UDP port numbers, shared keys, and server types.

Configuring a test profile for RADIUS server status detection
Use a test profile to detect whether a RADIUS authentication server is reachable at a detection
interval. To detect the RADIUS server status, you must configure the RADIUS server to use this test
profile in a RADIUS scheme.
With the test profile specified, the device sends a detection packet to the RADIUS server within each
detection interval. The detection packet is a simulated authentication request that includes the
specified user name in the test profile.
•
If the device receives a response from the server within the interval, it sets the server to the
active state.
•
If the device does not receive any response from the server within the interval, it sets the server
to the blocked state.
The device refreshes the RADIUS server status at each detection interval according to the detection
result.
