By default, the keys of RADIUS authentication/authorization and accounting
packets are all "3com".
Since RADIUS protocol uses UDP packets to carry the data, the communication
process is not reliable. If the RADIUS server has not responded to NAS before
timeout, NAS has to retransmit the RADIUS request packet. If it transmits more
than the specified
retry-times
primary and secondary RADIUS servers has been disconnected.
You can use the following command to set the retransmission times of the RADIUS
request packet.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS Scheme View.

Restore the default value of retransmission times
By default, RADIUS request packet will be retransmitted up to three times.
The Switch 4500 supports the standard RADIUS protocol and the extended
RADIUS service platforms.
You can use the following command to set the supported types of RADIUS servers.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS Scheme View.

By default, the newly created RADIUS scheme supports the server type
while the "system" RADIUS scheme created by the system supports the server
type .

For the primary and secondary servers (no matter if they are an
authentication/authorization server or accounting server), if the primary server is
disconnected from the NAS for some fault, the NAS will automatically turn to
exchange packets with the secondary server. However, after the primary server
recovers, the NAS will not resume the communication with it at once, instead, it
continues communicating with the secondary server. When the secondary server
fails to communicate, the NAS will turn to the primary server again. The following
commands can be used to set the primary server to be
that NAS can communicate with it immediately after a fault has been resolved.
