Know the TCP port you are using. For Radius servers, ports 1812 or 1645 (actually UDP ports)
are commonly used. Check with the Radius server vendor if you are not sure which port to
specify.
Know how long you want to wait between attempts to reach the server if it is busy. This is
expressed as a timeout value (default is 3 seconds) in seconds. Values are between 1 and 15.
Determine how many attempts (default is 3 times) to make to reach the server before stopping
and assuming it is unreachable. Values are between 1 and 5.
If possible, establish an active connection with the Radius server before configuration. This
enables you to test the connection as part of the configuration procedure.
