Notice of discontinuance of configurable RADIUS port
and ID space
In earlier versions of the system software, the default settings for User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) source ports and ID spaces for communication with a RADIUS server specified the use
of a unique source port for each card and a distinct ID space for both authentication and
accounting requests. However, the MAX unit could be configured to use a single source port
and ID space systemwide, in order to accommodate certain RADIUS server daemons that had
a system-unique requirement.
Because no known RADUIS servers continue to maintain this requirement, and because
increased port density makes the use of a single port and ID space undesirable, MAX units
now always use port-unique source ports and always send RADIUS authentication and
accounting requests with distinct RADIUS IDs. The following parameters are therefore no
longer supported and have been removed from the External-Auth profile:
[EXTERNAL-AUTH]
rad-id-space = distinct
rad-id-source-unique = port-unique
The
rad-ip-space
and
rad-id-source-unique
parameters no longer appear in the
External-Auth profile. If you downgrade the unit to an earlier release, the parameters revert to
their default values for that release.
