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:

z
The maximum number of retransmission attempts of RADIUS packets multiplied by the RADIUS
server response timeout period cannot be greater than 75.
