2 In the Timeout box, specify how long WX switch must wait (1 to 65,535
seconds) for a RADIUS server to respond before retransmitting. The
default is 5 seconds.
3 In the Retry Count box, specify the number of transmission attempts
(1 to 100) for a RADIUS request. The default is 3.
4 In the Dead Time box, specify the amount of time (0 to 1440 minutes)
that must elapse before the WX switch attempts to reach an
unresponsive RADIUS server. The default is 0 minutes.
When the dead time is set to 0, and there are two or more RADIUS
servers in a RADIUS server group, authentication starts with the first
server in the group, unless there are two or more RADIUS servers and
load sharing is configured, in which case authentication starts by trying a
server in round-robin style.
5 In the Key box, type the password (also known as a shared secret key)
used to authenticate to the RADIUS server.
You must provide the same password that is defined on the RADIUS
server. The password can be 1 to 64 characters long, with no spaces or
tabs.
6 In the Authorization Password box, type the password used for outbound
authentication and authorization to a RADIUS server. The authorization
password can be 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces or
tabs.
Providing an authorization password is required only for users whose
devices are authenticated by their MAC addresses or for last-resort users,
neither of which have a regular username or password. The default
authorization password is 3Com.
Changing the password applies both to MAC users and to last-resort
users.
All MAC address-authenticated users or last-resort users must share the
same authorization password on the RADIUS server.
7 Click Save.
8 To make RADIUS packets from the WX switch use the system IP address
as the source IP address, select Use System IP Address in the content
panel.
