Set the format for usernames
sent to the RADIUS servers.
user-name-format { keep-original
| with-domain | without-domain }
The default setting depends on the
type of startup configuration used:
•
If the device starts up with initial
settings, the ISP domain name
is included in a username.
•
If the device starts up with the
factory defaults, it removes the
ISP domain name from
usernames to be sent to the
RADIUS servers that are
specified in the predefined
RADIUS scheme system.
For more information about the
startup configuration, see
Fundamentals Configuration
Guide.

(Optional.) Set the data flow
and packet measurement
units for traffic statistics.
data-flow-format { data { byte |
giga-byte | kilo-byte |
mega-byte } | packet
{ giga-packet | kilo-packet |
mega-packet | one-packet } }*
By default, traffic is counted in
bytes and packets.
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.

Setting the status of RADIUS servers
To control the RADIUS servers with which the device communicates when the current servers are no
longer available, set the status of RADIUS servers to blocked or active. You can specify one primary
