(RADIATOR) Radius Host Redundancy Problem

[Bill Mattson]

In my radius.cfg I have many different handlers that authby radius. In the authby there are multiple hosts in an attempt to make the authentication to the far end redundant. I realized recently that the second host was not getting sent authentications even if the first host timed out and I got no response. Can anyone assist me and let me know what I may be doing incorrectly?

 

My handler looks like this…

 

<Handler Called-Station-Id=/1234567890/>

            <AuthBy RADIUS>

                        Host 12.23.34.123

                        Host 12.23.34.124

                        Secret whatever

                        AuthPort 1812

                        AcctPort 1813

                        LocalAddress 123.123.21.1

                        Retries 2

                        RetryTimeout 15

                        DefaultSimultaneousUse 20

            </AuthBy>

</Handler>

 

When 12.23.34.123 loses connection or doesn’t respond, this should authenticate to 12.23.34.124, theoretically. This is not happening. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
