Randomize Hosts
This command is used to relieve the burden on
When the random host command is turned off (default), the user will be connected first to the default host. If the default host is unavailable, he or she will be passed onto the first alternate host that is available.
When the random host command is set on, the user is connected to a random host selected from the default host and all the alternates. A different host is selected every time the port is connected to. Type the following command to enable this option:
set randomhost <on off>
Note: The flow of host selection from user table entry, to RADIUS user file entry to Port Default Host to Global Default Host is the same regardless of the setting of this parameter. Randomizing hosts only affects the NETServer’s choice of a Global Default vs. a Global Alternate Host, of a Port Default vs. a Port Alternate Host, and of hosts in the RADIUS users file.
