284 CHAPTER 11: 802.1X CONFIGURATION
Table 321 Setting Retransmission Times of RADIUS Request Packet
By default, RADIUS request packet will be retransmitted up to three times.
Setting the Supported
Type of the RADIUS
Server
The Switch 5500G-EI supports the standard RADIUS protocol and the extended
RADIUS service platforms.
You can use the following command to set the supported types of RADIUS servers.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS Scheme View.
Table 322 Setting the Supported Type of the RADIUS Server
By default, the newly created RADIUS scheme supports the server type standard,
while the "system" RADIUS scheme created by the system supports the server
type
3com.
Setting the RADIUS
Server State
For the primary and secondary servers (no matter if they are an
authentication/authorization server or accounting server), if the primary server is
disconnected from the NAS for some fault, the NAS will automatically turn to
exchange packets with the secondary server. However, after the primary server
recovers, the NAS will not resume the communication with it at once, instead, it
continues communicating with the secondary server. When the secondary server
fails to communicate, the NAS will turn to the primary server again. The following
commands can be used to set the primary server to be
active manually, in order
that NAS can communicate with it immediately after a fault has been resolved.
When the primary and secondary servers are both active or block, NAS will send
the packets to the primary server only.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS Scheme View.
Table 323 Setting the RADIUS Server State
By default, for the newly created RADIUS scheme, the primary and secondary
accounting/authentication servers are in the state of
block; for the "system"
RADIUS scheme created by the system, the primary accounting/authentication
servers are in the state of
active, and the secondary accounting/authentication
servers are in the state of
block.
