CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 2-42. RADIUS SERVER CONFIGURATION SCREEN
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
Global Configuration
These settings are common for all of the RADIUS servers.
Timeout: Timeout is the number of seconds, in the range 1 to 1000, to wait for a reply from a RADIUS server before retransmitting the
request.
Retransmit: Retransmit is the number of times, in the range 1 to 1000, a RADIUS request is retransmitted to a server that is not
responding. If the server has not responded after the last retransmit, it is considered to be dead.
Deadtime: Deadtime, which can be set to a number between 0 to 1440 minutes, is the period during which the switch will not send
new requests to a server that has failed to respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually trying to contact a
server that it has already determined as dead. Setting the Deadtime to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if
more than one server has been configured.
Key: The secret key—up to 63 characters long— shared between the RADIUS server and the switch.
NAS-IP-Address (Attribute 4): The IPv4 address to be used as attribute 4 in RADIUS Access-Request packets. If this field is left blank,
the IP address of the outgoing interface is used.
NAS-IPv6-Address (Attribute 95): The IPv6 address to be used as attribute 95 in RADIUS Access-Request packets. If this field is left
blank, the IP address of the outgoing interface is used.
NAS-Identifier (Attribute 32): The identifier—up to 255 characters long— to be used as attribute 32 in RADIUS Access-Request packets.
If this field is left blank, the NAS-Identifier is not included in the packet.
