Selection Criteria

Accounting Mode - Selects if the RADIUS accounting mode is enabled or disabled.

Configurable Data

Max Number of Retransmits - The value of the maximum number of times a request packet is
retransmitted. The valid range is 1 - 15. Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when
configuring RADIUS maxretransmit and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are
configured, the max retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted.
A retransmit will not occur until the configured timeout value on that server has passed without a
response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the
RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times timeout) for all configured servers. If the
RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the
RADIUS application returns a response.

Timeout Duration (secs) - The timeout value, in seconds, for request retransmissions. The valid
range is 1 - 30. Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS
maxretransmit and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max retransmit
value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit will not occur until
the configured timeout value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server.
Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum
of (retransmit times timeout) for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a
user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the RADIUS application returns a
response.

Dead Time - The dead time value, in seconds. The valid range is 1 - 255. - Selects if the RADIUS
accounting mode is enabled or disabled.

Radius Attribute 4 (NAS-IP Address) - Select if the Radius Attribute 4 (NAS-IP Address) inclusion
in Radius Requests is enabled or disabled. Mention explicitly the IP address to be sent as NAS-IP
Address to the Radius servers. If not mentioned, then the outgoing interface IP address that is used
to send the packet to the Radius server is added as NAS-IP Address.

Non-Configurable Data

Current Server IP Address - The IP address of the current server. This field is blank if no servers
are configured.

Number of Configured Servers - The number of RADIUS servers that have been configured. This
value will be in the range of 0 and 3.

Command Buttons

Submit - Sends the updated screen to the switch and causes the changes to take effect on the
switch but these changes will not be retained across a power cycle unless a save is performed.
