Use Secret in Checksum
Some RADIUS servers calculate packet validation checksums using both the 
secret value and the packet data. Earlier RADIUS servers typically do not. 
Check the documentation for your RADIUS server to determine whether this 
parameter should be set.
If checked, packet checksums will be calculated using both the data and 
the checksum.
Secondary Server
The device may be configured to use a secondary server if the primary server 
cannot be contacted.
If checked, a secondary server can be configured and will be used in the 
event the primary server cannot be contacted.
Secondary Server IP Address
The device will attempt to contact this RADIUS server if the primary server 
does not respond after the configured number of primary server retries. The 
address should be entered in dotted-decimal notation (i.e. 198.238.41.7).
Secondary Server Retries
The device will try to resend a packet if the secondary RADIUS server 
doesn’t acknowledge it within a timeout period. The timeout period for 
packets 1 through 10 is (in seconds): 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5.
Possible values range between 1 and 10 with a default of 5.

Secret
The secret is the shared secret used by the device and RADIUS server to vali-
date packets exchanged between them. This secret must match the client 
secret configured in the RADIUS server. It can be from 1 to 31 ASCII char-
acters in length.
