40.3.11 Setting the Supported Type of RADIUS Server The Switch 8800 supports the standard RADIUS protocol and the extended RADIUS
service platforms, such as IP Hotel, 201+ and Portal.
You can use the following command to set the supported types of RADIUS servers.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 40-21 Set the supported type of RADIUS scheme
Operation Command
Set the Supported Type of RADIUS Server server-type { 3Com | standard }
Restore the Supported Type of RADIUS
Server to the default setting undo server-type
By default, the newly created RADIUS scheme supports the server of standard type,
while the "system" RADIUS scheme created by the system supports the server of
3Com type
40.3.12 Setting RADIUS Server State For the primary and secondary servers (no matter it is an authentication/authorization
server or accounting server), if the primary is disconnected to NAS for some fault, NAS
will automatically turn to exchange packets with the secondary server. However, after
the primary one recovers, NAS will not resume the communication with it at once,
instead, it continues communicating with the secondary one. When the secondary one
fails to communicate, NAS will turn to the primary one again. The following commands
can be used to set the primary server to be active manually, in order that NAS can
communicate with it right after the troubleshooting.
When the primary and secondary servers are both active or block, NAS will send the
packets to the primary server only.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 40-22 Set RADIUS server state
Operation Command
Set the state of primary RADIUS server state primary { accounting |
authentication } { block | active }
Set the state of secondary RADIUS
sever
state secondary{ accounting |
authentication } { block | active }
By default, the state of each server in RADIUS scheme server group is active.
