Step
3. Specify a VPN for the RADIUS
scheme.
Setting the username format and traffic statistics units
A username is in the userid@isp-name format, where the isp-name argument represents the user's
ISP domain name. By default, the ISP domain name is included in a username. However, older
RADIUS servers might not recognize usernames that contain the ISP domain names. In this case,
you can configure the device to remove the domain name of each username to be sent.
If two or more ISP domains reference the same RADIUS scheme, configure the RADIUS scheme to
keep the ISP domain name in usernames for domain identification.
The device reports online user traffic statistics in accounting packets. The traffic measurement units
are configurable, but they must be the same as the traffic measurement units configured on the
RADIUS accounting servers.
To set the username format and the traffic statistics units for a RADIUS scheme:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter RADIUS scheme view.
3. Set the format for
usernames sent to the
RADIUS servers.
4. (Optional.) Set the data flow
and packet measurement
units for traffic statistics.
Setting the maximum number of RADIUS request transmission attempts
RADIUS uses UDP packets to transfer data. Because UDP communication is not reliable, RADIUS
uses a retransmission mechanism to improve reliability. A RADIUS request is retransmitted if the
NAS does not receive a server response for the request within the response timeout timer. For more
information about the RADIUS server response timeout timer, see
You can set the maximum number for the NAS to retransmit a RADIUS request to the same server.
When the maximum number is reached, the NAS tries to communicate with other RADIUS servers in
active state. If no other servers are in active state at the time, the NAS considers the authentication
or accounting attempt a failure.
To set the maximum number of RADIUS request transmission attempts:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter RADIUS scheme view.
3. Set the maximum number of
RADIUS request transmission
attempts.
