set server group load-balance

Enables or disables load balancing among the RADIUS servers in a server group.

Syntax

set server group group-name load-balance {enable | disable}

Defaults

Load balancing is disabled by default.

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in WSS Software 1.0.

Usage

You can optionally enable load balancing after assigning the server group members. If you configure

load balancing, WSS Software sends each AAA request to a separate server, starting with the first one on the

list and skipping unresponsive servers. If no server in the group responds, WSS Software moves to the next

method configured with set authentication and set accounting.

In contrast, if load balancing is not configured, WSS Software always begins with the first server in the list and sends

unfulfilled requests to each subsequent server in the group before moving on to the next configured AAA method.

Examples

To enable load balancing between the members of server group shorebirds, type the following

command:

23x0# set server group shorebirds load-balance enable

success: change accepted.

To disable load balancing between shorebirds server group members, type the following command:

23x0# set server group shorebirds load-balance disable

success: change accepted.
