Backup

If the NWA cannot communicate with the Primary accounting

 

server, you can have the NWA use a Backup RADIUS server. Make

 

sure the Active check boxes are selected if you want to use backup

 

servers.

 

The NWA will attempt to communicate three times before using the

 

Backup servers. Requests can be issued from the client interface to

 

use the backup server. The length of time for each authentication is

 

decided by the wireless client or based on the configuration of the

 

ReAuthentication Timer field in the Security screen.
