Setting The Upper Limit Of Radius Request Retransmission Attempts; Setting The Supported Radius Server Type - 3Com 4500G Family Configuration Manual

The shared key configured on the device must be the same as that configured on the RADIUS server.

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
Create a RADIUS scheme and
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
Create a RADIUS scheme and
enter RADIUS scheme view
Specify the RADIUS server
type supported by the device
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 }
