3.
Specify a shared key for
authenticating RADIUS

or accounting packets.

No shared key is specified by
default.
NOTE:
A shared key configured on the device must be the same as that configured on the RADIUS server.
Setting the supported RADIUS server type
The supported RADIUS server type determines the type of the RADIUS protocol that the device uses to
communicate with the RADIUS server. It can be standard or extended:
•
Standard—Uses the standard RADIUS protocol, compliant to RFC 2865 and RFC 2866 or later.
•
Extended—Uses the proprietary RADIUS protocol of H3C.
When the RADIUS server runs on IMC, you must set the RADIUS server type to extended. When the
RADIUS server runs third-party RADIUS server software, either RADIUS server type applies.
To set the RADIUS server type:

3.
Set the RADIUS server type.
server-type { extended |
standard }
Optional.
The default setting is standard.
NOTE:
Changing the RADIUS server type restores the unit for data flows and that for packets that are sent to the
RADIUS server to the defaults.
Setting the maximum number of RADIUS request transmission attempts
Because RADIUS uses UDP packets to transfer data, the communication process is not reliable. RADIUS
uses a retransmission mechanism to improve the reliability. If a NAS sends a RADIUS request to a
RADIUS server but receives no response after the response timeout timer (defined by the timer
response-timeout command) expires, it retransmits the request. If the number of transmission attempts
exceeds the specified limit but it still receives no response, it tries to communicate with other RADIUS
servers in active state. If no other servers are in active state at the time, it considers the authentication or
accounting attempt a failure. For more information about RADIUS server states, see "
