Configuring a test profile for RADIUS server status detection
About test profiles for RADIUS server status detection
Use a test profile to detect whether a RADIUS authentication server is reachable at a detection interval. To detect the RADIUS server status, you must configure the RADIUS server to use this test profile in a RADIUS scheme.
With the test profile specified, the device sends a detection packet to the RADIUS server within each detection interval. The detection packet is a simulated authentication request that includes the specified username and password in the test profile.
If the device receives a response from the server within the interval, it sets the server to the active state.
If the device does not receive any response from the server within the interval, it sets the server to the blocked state.
The device refreshes the RADIUS server status at each detection interval according to the detection result.
Restrictions and guidelines
You can configure multiple test profiles in the system.
The device starts detecting the status of the RADIUS server only if an existing test profile is specified for the RADIUS authentication server.
The device stops detecting the status of the RADIUS server when one of the following operations is performed:
The RADIUS server is removed from the RADIUS scheme.
The test profile configuration is removed for the RADIUS server in RADIUS scheme view.
The test profile is deleted.
The RADIUS server is manually set to the blocked state.
The RADIUS scheme is deleted.
