■ RADIUS view
Description In the RADIUS protocol, UDP applies to provide unreliable transmission. If the NAS
receives no response from the current RADIUS server when the response timeout
timer expires, it has to retransmit the RADIUS request.
Suppose the maximum number of retransmission attempts is set to N. If the primary
RADIUS server does not respond after the number of request attempts exceeds (N –
[N/2]), the NAS considers that the current RADIUS server is disconnected and turns to
another RADIUS server.
Appropriately set the retry-times parameter to maintain an acceptable system
response speed.
