Configuring Consecutive Failure

Use the following configuration to configure consecutive failure in the RADIUS server. Even if there is no option for dead-server-detection, consecutive-failure is enabled by default and its default value is 10. To turn it off, the user must set the value to 0.

config 
   profile radius 
      detect-dead-server consecutive-failures value 
      end 

NOTES:

  • profile radius : Enter the RADIUS configuration mode.

  • detect-dead-server consecutive-failures value : When a server's failure count reaches the threshold for consecutive failures, the server is declared as dead server.

    value: must be an integer in the range of 1–1000. Default: 10.

  • It is recommended to configure the consecutive failure value more than the request maxTransmissions value in the setup.

    Example: The consecutive failure count may be greater than 6 if maxRetry = 2 and maxTransmissions = 6, so as not to affect the server switch caused by maxtransmissions. Moreover, a server level value called consecutive-failure is increased when successive requests are made to the same server.
