Setting the Supported Type of
RADIUS Server
By default, RADIUS server type is standard.
Setting RADIUS Server State
For the primary and second servers, if the primary is disconnected to NAS for some
fault, NAS will automatically turn to exchange packets with the second server.
However, after the primary one recovers, NAS will not resume the communication
with it at once, instead, it continues communicating with the second one. When
the second one fails to communicate, NAS turns to the primary one again. The
following commands can be used to set the primary server to be active manually,
in order that NAS can communicate with it right after the troubleshooting.
When the primary and second servers are both active or block, NAS sends the
packets to the primary server only.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.

Setting Username Format Transmitted to RADIUS Server
As mentioned above, the supplicants are generally named in userid@isp-name
format. The part following "@" is the ISP domain name. The Switch 7700 will put
users into different ISP domains according to the domain names. However, some
earlier RADIUS servers reject the username including ISP domain name. In this
case, you have to remove the domain name before sending the username to the
RADIUS server. The following command of switch decides whether the username
to be sent to RADIUS server carries ISP domain name or not.
