Configuring Captive Portal For Internal Or External Authentication - Siemens HiPath C10 User Manual

In the event of a failover of the main RADIUS server—if there is no response after the set
number of retries—then the other servers in the list will be polled on a round-robin basis until a
server responds.
If one of the other servers becomes the active server during a failover, when the new active
server properties are displayed the Set as primary server checkbox is selected.
If all defined RADIUS servers fail to respond, a critical message is generated in the logs.
To define the RADIUS server priority for RADIUS redundancy:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual Network
Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to define the RADIUS server

first server in the list is the active one.

the RADIUS server, which allows you to visually verify the state of the server connection
and user authentication.
