Radius Parameters Description - Black Box 16 port User Manual

RADIUS parameters description

The RADIUS parameters are as follows:
retry
(for authentication) the number of times the unit will re-send a request to a
RADIUS authentication host, before re-presenting another login to the user.
(for accounting) the number of times the unit will re-send a request to a RADIUS
accounting host, before understanding that the accounting request has failed.
The default retry value is 5; the unit will try the primary host up to 5. You can
enter values between 0 (don't retry) and 255. If you have different authentication
and accounting hosts unit will retry first the authentication host(s) and then the
accounting host(s).
timeout - the time in seconds between unit sending a request to a RADIUS
accounting or authentication host and receiving a reply. If no reply is received
before the expiry of the timeout period, the unit will retry the same host up to and
including the number of retry attempts specified under 'retry'.
The default timeout period is 3 seconds (you can enter values between 1 and 255).
accounting - turns accounting on or off within the unit; the default is off.

Notes on Table above:
'accounting' within the Console Server is an increment of the session id (see
below).
'accounting' in the RADIUS accounting host means that you should be able to
see accounting information by interrogating the host (see your RADIUS
documentation).
acct_port - the UDP port number for RADIUS accounting. The default value is
1646 which should match most RADIUS implementations. Change this value if
your RADIUS host is using a different UDP port number.
