Configuring Communication with RADIUS 485

When you configure load balancing, the first client’s RADIUS requests are directed to the first server in the group, the second client’s RADIUS requests are directed to the second server in the group, and so on. When the last server in the group is reached, the cycle is repeated.

Note. WSS Software attempts to send accounting records to one RADIUS server, even if load balancing is configured.

To configure load balancing, use the following command:

set server group group-nameload-balance enable

For example, to configure RADIUS servers pelican and seagull as the server group swampbirds with load balancing:

1Configure the members of a server group by typing the following command:

23x0# set server group swampbirds members pelican seagull success: change accepted.

2Enable load balancing by typing the following command:

23x0# set server group swampbirds load-balance enable success: change accepted.

The following command disables load balancing for a server group:

clear server group group-nameload-balance

Adding Members to a Server Group

To add RADIUS servers to a server group, type the following command:

set server group group-name members server-name1 [server-name2][server-name3][server-name4]]

The keyword members lists the RADIUS servers contained in the named server group. A server group can contain between one and four RADIUS servers. This command accepts any RADIUS servers as the current set of servers. To change the server members, you must reenter all of them.

For example, to add RADIUS server coot to server group shorebirds:

1Determine the server group by typing the following command:

23x0# show aaa
