The example above shows that the iSCSI client has been authenticated 3 times, first for the switch login,
and the second and third times for the SCSI drive login. The switch sends Radius attributes 1, 3, 4, 5,
6, 60 and 61 to the Radius server. The Radius server only needs to respond with request accept or
request reject.
The following example shows a radius authentication.
