Using RADIUS-Compatible Servers with the RADIUS Client
The Bay Networks RADIUS client can communicate with any
RADIUS-compatible server. You must configure the server’s IP address so that
the client can communicate with the server.
To ensure that a server is always available, you can configure one primary server
and multiple alternate servers. The client tries to connect to the primary server
first. If the primary server does not respond after a certain number of attempts, the
client sends the authentication or accounting request to the alternate server. Once
the primary server recovers, the client resumes communication with the primary
server.
Accepting Remote Users’ IP Addresses
The client accepts the IP address of a remote user only if the remote user is a PC,
not another router. The client does not support any other RADIUS extensions.
