Multiple servers can be added. Servers can be designated by IP addresses or valid host names. During login, the
authentication process will try each server in the order displayed, from top to bottom, until one server accepts the
authentication request or all servers have rejected it. The order can be changed with the arrow buttons. Note that:
• The Add button will not allow adding a server that already exists in the table.
• The Modify button will allow any change to any field as long as it won't change the server to one that already exists in the
table.
Note: This tool cannot tell when host names map to existing IP addresses or not. Therefore the Add button will allow adding
duplicate servers when they have different host names.
Note: There is no limit to the number of servers allowed, but more than 2 or 3 unreachable servers will cause long delays to users
trying to log in because each server is tried one at a time and must timeout before the next server is tried. Therefore, servers
with a history of unavailability should not be used for RADIUS authentication.
