RADIUS Configuration Task List 257
Configuring the Type of
RADIUS Servers to be
Supported
n
When the third party RADIUS server is used, you can select standard or
extended as the server-type in a RADIUS scheme; when the CAMS server is used,
you can select extended as the server-type in a RADIUS scheme.
Configuring the Status
of RADIUS Servers
For the primary and secondary servers (authentication/authorization servers, or
accounting servers) in a RADIUS scheme:
When the switch fails to communicate with the primary server due to some server
trouble, the switch will turn to the secondary server and exchange messages with
the secondary server.
After the primary server remains in the block state for a set time (set by the timer
quiet command), the switch will try to communicate with the primary server again
when it receives a RADIUS request. If it finds that the primary server has recovered,
the switch immediately restores the communication with the primary server
instead of communicating with the secondary server, and at the same time
restores the status of the primary server to
active while keeping the status of the
secondary server unchanged.
When both the primary and secondary servers are in active or block state, the
switch sends messages only to the primary server.
