horization packets
Set a shared key

Caution:
You must set the share keys separately for the authentication/authorization packets
and the accounting packets if the authentication/authorization server and the
accounting server are different devices and the shared keys on the two servers are also
different.
1.5.5 Configuring the Maximum Number of Transmission Attempts of
RADIUS Requests
The communication in RADIUS is unreliable because this protocol adopts UDP packets
to carry 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 maximum number of transmission attempts is reached and the switch still receives
no answer, the switch considers that the request fails.
