ProSafe® Gigabit L3 Managed Stackable Switches Software Administration Manual
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. 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.
2. In the Timeout Duration field, specify the time-out value, in seconds, for request
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
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.
3. From the Accounting Mode menu, select whether the RADIUS accounting mode is
enabled or disabled on the current server.
4. Use RADIUS Attribute 4 to enable or disable RADIUS attribute 4. Default value is Disable.
This is an optional field and can be seen only when RADIUS attribute 4 is enabled. It
takes IP address value in the format (xx.xx.xx.xx).
