Configuring RADIUS 901
n
■ If you change the type of RADIUS server, the data stream destined to the
original RADIUS server will be restored to the default unit.
■ When a third-party RADIUS is used, you can configure the RADIUS server to
standard or extended. When CAMS server is used, you must configure the
RADIUS server to extended.
Setting the Status of
RADIUS Servers
When a primary server, authentication/authorization server or accounting server,
fails, the device automatically turns to the secondary server.
After the status of a primary server stays blocked for a period specified by the
timer quiet command, the device tries to communicate with the primary server. If
the primary server has resumed, the device turns to use the primary server and
stops communicating with the secondary server. In this case, the status of the
primary server is active again and the status of the secondary server remains the
same. After accounting starts, the communication between the client and the
secondary server remains unchanged.
If both the primary server and the secondary server are in the state of active or
blocked, the device sends the packets only to the primary server.
Follow these steps to set the status of RADIUS servers:
