d Select RADIUS.

e In the Task List panel, select RADIUS Server Group. 

2 In the Name box, type the name of the RADIUS server group (1 to 32 

alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs). Do not use the same 
name for a RADIUS server and a server group.

3 Click Next.

4 To enable load balancing in the server group, select Load Balance. 

If you enable load balancing, a round-robin approach is used to balance 
the load among servers. Authentication and accounting requests for a 
given user are always sent to the same server. Each new authentication 
event uses the next server in the list.

If load balancing is not enabled, the first server in the list is contacted 
first. If the first server does not respond, the second server in the list is 
contacted.

5 To add RADIUS servers to the server group, select the servers in the 

Available RADIUS Servers list and click Add. 

6 To reorder the servers, select a server and click Up or Down.

If load balancing is enabled, the first AAA request goes to the first 
RADIUS server in the list. The second AAA request goes to the second 
RADIUS server in the list, and so on, until the end of the list is reached, 
after which the first server in the list is used again. Any server that does 
not respond is skipped. If none of the servers responds, the WX goes to 
the next method in the method list.

7 Click Next.

You can set default values for certain RADIUS parameters that apply to 
RADIUS servers and server groups you create for an individual WX. The 
following RADIUS parameters, except system IP address, are defined with 
default values, which you can change:

„

Timeout (generally set for only troubleshooting purposes)

„

Retry count (generally set for only troubleshooting purposes)

„

Dead time
