(Optional) Configuring Extended Source Interfaces of a RADIUS Server

If you do not want to use the default extended source interface to send and receive RADIUS packets, you can change the default extended source interface of a RADIUS server.

Context

After you configure the extended source interfaces of the RADIUS server, the NetEngine 8000 F increases the number of packets sent to the RADIUS server within a certain period of time.

After the configuration, the NetEngine 8000 F sends RADIUS packets using the extended source interfaces. The former half of extended source interfaces are used to send and receive RADIUS authentication packets, and the latter half of extended source interfaces are used to send and receive RADIUS accounting packets. If an odd number of extended source interfaces are configured, the authentication interfaces outnumber the accounting interfaces by one.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run radius-server extended-source-ports [ start-port start-port-number ] port-number port-number

    The extended source interfaces of the RADIUS server are configured.

    If you do not specify the start interface number when configuring the extended source interfaces, the NetEngine 8000 F assigns a configured number of valid extended source interfaces.

  3. Run radius-server extended-source-ports algorithm round-robin

    The NetEngine 8000 F is enabled to use the round-robin algorithm to select an extended source interface.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
