• Retransmit
Retransmit is the number of times, in the range from 1 to 1000; a RADIUS
request is retransmitted to a server that is not responding. If the server has not
responded after the last retransmit, it is considered to be dead.
• Dead Time
The Dead Time, which can be set to a number between 0 and 3600 seconds, is
the period during which the switch will not send new requests to a server that has
failed to respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually
trying to contact a server that it has already determined as dead.
Setting the Dead Time to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but
only if more than one server has been configured.
• Key
The secret key - up to 63 characters long - shared between the RADIUS server
and the switch.
• NAS-IP-Address
The IPv4 address to be used as attribute 4 in RADIUS Access-Request packets.
If this field is left blank, the IP address of the outgoing interface is used.
• NAS-IPv6-Address
The IPv6 address to be used as attribute 95 in RADIUS Access-Request
packets. If this field is left blank, the IP address of the outgoing interface is used.
• NAS-Identifier
The identifier - up to 253 characters long - to be used as attribute 32 in RADIUS
Access-Request packets. If this field is left blank, the NAS-Identifier is not
included in the packet.
