ProSafe M5300 Switch Radius Configuration Use the Radius Configuration page to add information about one or more RADIUS servers on the network. To access the Radius Configuration page, click Security  Management Security  RADIUS  Radius Configuration. The Current Server IP Address field is blank if no servers are configured (see RADIUS Server Configuration on page 361). The switch supports up to three configured RADIUS servers. If more than one RADIUS servers are configured, the current server is the server configured as the primary server. If no servers are configured as the primary server, the current server is the most recently added RADIUS server. To configure global RADIUS server settings: 1. In the Max Number of Retransmits field, specify the value of the maximum number of times a request packet is retransmitted to the RADIUS server. The value of the maximum number of times a request packet is retransmitted. The valid range is 1 - 15. Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS max retransmit and RADIUS time-out. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit will not occur until the configured time-out value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times time-out) for all configured servers. If the RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked until the RADIUS application returns a response. 2. In the Timeout Duration field, specify the time-out value, in seconds, for request retransmissions. The valid range is 1 - 30. Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS max retransmit and RADIUS time-out. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the max retransmit value on each will be exhausted before the next server is attempted. A retransmit will not occur until the configured time-out value on that server has passed without a response from the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS application equals the sum of (retransmit times time-out) for Managing Device Security 360
