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… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter RADIUS scheme view
radius scheme
radius-scheme-name
—
Set the number of
retransmission attempts of
RADIUS packets
retry retry-times
Optional
3 by default
z
The maximum number of retransmission attempts of RADIUS packets multiplied by the RADIUS
server response timeout period cannot be greater than 75.
z
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… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter RADIUS scheme view
radius scheme
radius-scheme-name
—
Specify the RADIUS server
type supported by the device server-type { extended |
standard }
Optional
By default, the supported
RADIUS server type is
standard .
z
If you change the type of RADIUS server, the data stream destined to the original RADIUS server
will be restored to the default unit.
z
When a third-party RADIUS is used, you can configure the RADIUS server to standard or
extended . When an iMC server is used, you must configure the RADIUS server to extended.
