It is similar to AuthBy RADIUS. That is, when there is no traffic,
Status-Server is requested from the RadSec peer. If the peer does not
respond, then it is marked as being down. This is similar to when
Status-Server is not used and the peer does not reply to requests.

Is this what you were thinking of?

Here's a quick summary for those who are thinking if they should enable
Status-Server or not. This is likely familiar to eduroam folks:

In roaming scenarios Status-Server is better since the next hop can be
just fine but there's a remote server which is dead and does not respond.

However, if RadSec is used locally, then it might be better to rely on
ignored requests when it is known that a server will stop responding
when it has for example, lost its connection to the backend DB.

Thanks,
Heikki

Hello Michael,

try this:


   # your current config for 


# Default Handler

   # Catches everything non-EAP
   # Could reject with e.g., AuthBy INTERNAL


Note that the above may require setting another Handler before the
default to catch the accounting, if this Radiator instances receives
accounting too.

I'd say the two Handler approach requires you not to rearrange internals
or require any large changes.

Please let us know how it works.

PS. I've been traveling lately so unfortunately it took a bit longer
than usual to reply.

Thanks,
Heikki
