8 In the Timeout box, specify how long (1 to 65,535 seconds) the WX
switch must wait for a RADIUS server to respond before retransmitting.
The default is 5 seconds.

sent for a RADIUS request. The default is 2.
10 In the Dead Time box, specify how long (0 to 1440 minutes) the WX
switch waits before attempting to reach an unresponsive RADIUS server.
The default is 0 minutes.
11 In the Key box, type the password (also known as a shared secret key)
used to authenticate to the RADIUS server (1 to 32 characters long, with
no spaces or tabs).
You must provide the same password that is defined on the RADIUS
server.
12 In the Authorization Password box, type the password used for outbound
authentication and authorization to a RADIUS server (1 to 32
alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs).
Providing an authorization password is required only for users whose
devices are authenticated by their MAC addresses or for last-resort users,
neither of which have a regular username or password. The default
authorization password is
3Com .
Changing the password applies both to MAC users and to last-resort
users.
All MAC address-authenticated users or last-resort users must share the
same authorization password on the RADIUS server.

Creating a RADIUS
Server Group
A server group is a group of one to four RADIUS servers. Server groups
enable RADIUS server redundancy by allowing another server to be used
if the first server is unavailable. You must create at least one server group,
even if you are using only one RADIUS server. You can specify the order in
which servers are used for authentication. You can also specify load
balancing, which uses all servers in a group using a round-robin
algorithm.
1 Access the Create RADIUS Server Group wizard:
a Select the Configuration tool bar option.
b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch.
c Click the plus sign next to AAA.
