This issue is cosmetic only and does not invalidate the 
information in the other lines of the display.
SNMP—The ClientAuthServerIp element in the 
authorization success trap 
(ClientAuthorizationSuccessTraps) is not in 
dotted decimal format. (18411)
AAA and RADIUS Issues
WX switch can restart when a last-resort user 
configured on a wired authentication port 
begins sending packets. (18252)
If a RADIUS server and server group have the 
same name, the WX switch restarts when an 
administrative user attempts to log in. (18434)
If you use the same name for a RADIUS server and a 
RADIUS server group, and use the server group as the 
authentication method for a AAA rule for administra-
tive access, the WX switch restarts when the adminis-
trative user attempts to log in. 
Do not use the same name for a RADIUS server and a 
RADIUS server group.
Multiple RADIUS servers with the same IP 
address are not supported. (13895)
You cannot configure multiple instances of RADIUS 
on the same machine, with the same IP address. This 
method is sometimes used as a scaling technique if 
RADIUS transactions on the default UDP port become 
congested and another instance of the RADIUS server 
on the same machine is configured to use a different 
UDP port number. MSS does not allow you to specify 
the UDP port number of a RADIUS server and there-
fore cannot distinguish among multiple server entries 
with the same IP address.
Use a unique IP address for each RADIUS server.
CLI accepts a subnet mask with a RADIUS server 
IP address. (16594)
When you configure a RADIUS server on the WX 
switch, the server's IP address does not require a 
subnet mask. If you do specify a subnet mask, the CLI 
changes the server IP address and the incorrect 
address is placed into the switch's configuration.
Do not specify a subnet mask with a RADIUS server 
address. 
Default 802.1X retransmit interval is too short 
for manual login. (18032)
The default 802.1X retransmit interval is 5 seconds. 
Although this interval is adequate for clients that are 
configured to automatically use the user’s Windows 
login information as the network login information, 
the interval is too short for users who must manually 
enter their network login information.
If the network has clients that do not automatically 
use the Windows username and password as the net-
work username and password, use the set dot1x 
tx-period
 command to increase the retransmit time.
CAUTION: Changes to 802.1X parameters affect all 
SSIDs managed by the WX switch.
