Viewing and Configuring RADIUS Settings 301
dSelect RADIUS.
eIn the Task List panel, select RADIUS Server Group.
2In the Name box, type the name of the RADIUS server group (1 to 32
alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs). Do not use the same
name for a RADIUS server and a server group.
3Click Next.
4To enable load balancing in the server group, select Load Balance.
If you enable load balancing, a round-robin approach is used to balance
the load among servers. Authentication and accounting requests for a
given user are always sent to the same server. Each new authentication
event uses the next server in the list.
If load balancing is not enabled, the first server in the list is contacted
first. If the first server does not respond, the second server in the list is
contacted.
5To add RADIUS servers to the server group, select the servers in the
Available RADIUS Servers list and click Add.
6To reorder the servers, select a server and click Up or Down.
If load balancing is enabled, the first AAA request goes to the first
RADIUS server in the list. The second AAA request goes to the second
RADIUS server in the list, and so on, until the end of the list is reached,
after which the first server in the list is used again. Any server that does
not respond is skipped. If none of the servers responds, the WX goes to
the next method in the method list.
7Click Next.
When you add a RADIUS server to a RADIUS server group, all RADIUS
timers for the server group are restarted.
