The authentication/authorization shared key and the accounting shared key you set on the switch must
be respectively consistent with the shared key on the authentication/authorization server and the
shared key on the accounting server.

Configuring the Maximum Number of RADIUS Request Transmission Attempts

The communication in RADIUS is unreliable because this protocol uses UDP packets to carry its data.
Therefore, it is necessary for the switch to retransmit a RADIUS request if it gets no response from the
RADIUS server after the response timeout timer expires. If the switch gets no answer after it has tried
the maximum number of times to transmit the request, the switch considers that the request fails.
Follow these steps to configure the maximum transmission attempts of a RADIUS request:
To do...
Enter system view

enter its view
