10-4 Command Reference
Randomize Hosts
This command is used to relieve the burden on frequently-used
global default, port default and RADIUS user table hosts. All
three of these tables contain a default host and several alternate
hosts.
When the random host command is turned off (default), the user
will be connected first to the default host. If the default host is
unavailable, he or she will be passed onto the first alternate host
that is available.
When the random host command is set on, the user is connected
to a random host selected from the default host and all the
alternates. A different host is selected every time the port is
connected to. Type the following command to enable this
option:
set randomhost < on | off>
Note: The flow of host selection from user table entry, to
RADIUS user file entry to Port Default Host to Global Default
Host is the same regardless of the setting of this parameter.
Randomizing hosts only affects the NETServer’s choice of a
Global Default vs. a Global Alternate Host, of a Port Default vs.
a Port Alternate Host, and of hosts in the RADIUS users file.
