User Guidelines
RADIUS servers configured with a test username and a non-zero deadtime
are tested periodically for liveness. Liveness of a server is determined by
sending an Access-Request to the server using a configurable dummy login. If
an Access-Reject is returned, the server is marked alive and is available for use
for authentication. The radius deadtime configured retries and timeouts are
applied. It is suggested that the configured values be the same as the normal
RADIUS values. If a RADIUS server fails to respond, it is marked dead.
Setting the deadtime to 0 disables liveness checks and configures the switch
to never mark the server dead.
Configuring the user-name parameter as a valid login on the RADIUS server
will induce state on the server as the server will wait for further packets from
the switch. The switch will not send any further RADIUS packets to remove
the state from the RADIUS server. Therefore, Dell EMC strongly
recommends that the user name not be configured on the RADIUS server.
The user-name parameter accepts any printable character. Enclose the
parameter in double quotes to configure embedded blanks in the user name.
Successive invocations of the automate-tester command overwrite the
previous values.
