Configure the options in the
Health Check Policy
section. These options define
the health monitoring settings of the primary RADIUS server by the secondary
RADIUS server. The secondary RADIUS is responsible for monitoring the health
of the primary RADIUS and for periodically synchronizing its settings to match
those of the primary RADIUS.
•
Response Window
: Set the time (in seconds) during which the secondary
RADIUS must wait for a response from the primary RADIUS. If the secondary
RADIUS does not receive a response during the defined Response Window,
the Zombie Period (see below) is started for the primary RADIUS. The default
Response Window is 20 seconds.
•
Zombie Period
: Set the time (in seconds) during which the secondary RADIUS
must wait for a response from the primary RADIUS before marking it as
“down”. If the secondary RADIUS does not receive a response during the
defined Zombie Period, the Revive Interval (see below) is started for the
primary server. The default Zombie Period is 40 seconds. If the primary
RADIUS still does not respond when the Zombie Period expires, it will be
marked as down and the secondary RADIUS will start receiving new requests
from the Network Access Server (NAS).
•
Revive Interval
: Set the time (in seconds) during which the secondary RADIUS
must wait for the primary RADIUS to start responding to requests again. If
the primary RADIUS starts responding before the Revive Interval expires, new
requests will be forwarded to the primary RADIUS again. The default Revive
Interval is 120 seconds.
•
No Response Fail
: Click Yes to respond with a reject message to the NAS if
no response is received from the RADIUS server. Click No to skip sending a
response.
