Configure A Radius Server - NETGEAR M4100 Series User Manual

The valid range is 1 – 30. The default value is 5.
Give consideration to maximum delay time when configuring RADIUS maximum
retransmits and RADIUS time-outs. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the
maximum retransmit value on each is exhausted before the next server is attempted. A
retransmit does not occur until the configured time-out 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 retransmit times time-out for all
configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user
interfaces are blocked until the RADIUS application returns a response.
10. Select the Accounting Mode Disable or Enable radio button.

be seen only when Radius attribute 4 Mode is enabled. It takes an IP address value in the
