Configuring RADIUS Protocol 253

Setting the Supported
Type of RADIUS Server
3Com Series Switches support the standard RADIUS protocol and the extended
RADIUS service platforms, such as IP Hotel, 201+ and Portal, independently
developed by 3Com.
You can use the following command to set the supported types of RADIUS servers.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
By default, the newly created RADIUS scheme supports the server of standard
type, while the "system" RADIUS scheme created by the system supports the
server of
3Com type
Setting RADIUS Server
State
For the primary and secondary servers (no matter it is an
authentication/authorization server or accounting server), if the primary is
disconnected to NAS for some fault, NAS will automatically turn to exchange
packets with the secondary server. However, after the primary one recovers, NAS
will not resume the communication with it at once, instead, it continues
communicating with the secondary one. When the secondary one fails to
communicate, NAS will turn to the primary one again. The following commands
can be used to set the primary server to be
active manually, in order that NAS can
communicate with it right after the troubleshooting.
When both the primary and secondary servers are active or block , NAS first sends
packets to the primary server. If NAS fails to connect the primary server, it sends
the packets to the secondary server.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
