Radius Configuration

Use the Radius Configuration page to add information about one or more RADIUS servers on
the network.

Radius Configuration.
The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see "RADIUS
Server Configuration" on page 6-230). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS
servers. If more 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:
In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the value of the maximum number of
1.
times a request packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server. The value of the
maximum number of times a request packet is retransmitted. The valid range is 1 - 15.
Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS
maxretransmit and RADIUS time-out. 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 time-out 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 time-out) 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.
In the Timeout Duration field, specify the time-out value, in seconds, for request
2.
retransmissions. The valid range is 1 - 30.
Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS
maxretransmit and RADIUS time-out. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max
retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A
