than one RADIUS servers are configured, the current server is the server configured as the primary
server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the current server is the most recently
added RADIUS server.
To configure global RADIUS server settings:
1. In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the value of the maximum number of times
a request packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server.
Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS max
retransmit and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max
retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit
will not occur until the configured timeout 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 sum of (retransmit times timeout) for all configured servers. If
the RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked
until the RADIUS application returns a response.
2. In the Timeout Duration field, specify the timeout value, in seconds, for request
retransmissions.
Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS max
retransmit and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max
retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit
will not occur until the configured timeout 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 sum of (retransmit times timeout) for all configured servers. If
the RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked
until the RADIUS application returns a response.
3. From the Accounting Mode menu, select whether the RADIUS accounting mode is enabled
or disabled on the current server.
4. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to the
latest value of the switch.
5. If you make changes to the page, click Apply to apply the changes to the system.
