Setting The Upper Limit Of Radius Request Retransmission Attempts; Setting The Supported Radius Server Type - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

Setting the Upper Limit of RADIUS Request Retransmission Attempts

Because RADIUS uses UDP packets to carry data, the communication process is not reliable. If a NAS
receives no response from the RADIUS server before the response timeout timer expires, it is required
to retransmit the RADIUS request. If the number of transmission attempts exceeds the specified limit
but it still receives no response, it considers that the authentication has failed.
Follow these steps to set the upper limit of RADIUS request retransmission attempts:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter RADIUS scheme view
Set the number of
retransmission attempts of
RADIUS packets
The maximum number of retransmission attempts of RADIUS packets multiplied by the RADIUS
server response timeout period cannot be greater than 75.
Refer to the timer response-timeout command in the command manual for configuring RADIUS
server response timeout period.

Setting the Supported RADIUS Server Type

Follow these steps to set the supported RADIUS server type:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter RADIUS scheme view
Specify the RADIUS server
type supported by the device
If you change the type of RADIUS server, the data stream destined to the original RADIUS server
will be restored to the default unit.
When a third-party RADIUS is used, you can configure the RADIUS server to standard or
extended. When an iMC server is used, you must configure the RADIUS server to extended.
Use the command...
system-view
radius scheme
radius-scheme-name
retry retry-times
Use the command...
system-view
radius scheme
radius-scheme-name
server-type { extended |
standard }
