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.
