(RADIATOR) radiator handling NAS-down condition?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Prakash -

The radius protocol is a stateless protocol and Radiator does not  
keep any state directly in the server regarding active sessions.

Radiator can be configured however with a session database (usually  
SQL) which is maintained automatically using the accounting start,  
accounting stop, accounting alive and accounting on messages that are  
received from the NAS. Radiator does not use any keepalive mechanism  
to ckeck the NAS equipment.

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
