When you create a new RADIUS server, the default settings apply to the new server.

To change default values for RADIUS parameters

1Access the RADIUS defaults:

a Select the Configuration tool bar option.

b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch. c Click the plus sign next to AAA.

d Select RADIUS.

2In the Timeout box, specify how long WX switch must wait (1 to 65,535 seconds) for a RADIUS server to respond before retransmitting. The default is 5 seconds.

3In the Retry Count box, specify the number of transmission attempts (1 to 100) for a RADIUS request. The default is 3.

4In the Dead Time box, specify the amount of time (0 to 1440 minutes) that must elapse before the WX switch attempts to reach an unresponsive RADIUS server. The default is 0 minutes.

When the dead time is set to 0, and there are two or more RADIUS servers in a RADIUS server group, authentication starts with the first server in the group, unless there are two or more RADIUS servers and load sharing is configured, in which case authentication starts by trying a server in round-robin style.

5In the Key box, type the password (also known as a shared secret key) used to authenticate to the RADIUS server.

You must provide the same password that is defined on the RADIUS server. The password can be 1 to 64 characters long, with no spaces or tabs.

6In the Authorization Password box, type the password used for outbound authentication and authorization to a RADIUS server. The authorization password can be 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters long, with no spaces or tabs.
