NETGEAR GS728TPP, GS752TP manual  To configure global Radius server settings

GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

To configure global RADIUS server settings:

1.Select Security > Management Security > RADIUS > Global Configuration. The following screen displays:

The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see RADIUS Server Configuration ). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS servers. If more than one RADIUS server is configured, the current server is the server configured as the primary server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the current server is the most recently added RADIUS server.

2.In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the maximum number of times a request packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server.

3.In the Timeout Duration field, specify the time-out value, in seconds, for request retransmissions.

Consideration to maximum delay time must be given when configuring RADIUS maximum retransmit and RADIUS time-out values. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the maximum retransmit value on each is exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit does not occur until the configured time-out value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit * time-out) for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request is generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces are blocked until the RADIUS application returns a response.

4.From the Accounting Mode list, select whether the RADIUS accounting mode is enabled or disabled on the current server.

5.Click APPLY.

Configuration changes take effect immediately.
