[RADIATOR] Load balancing RADIATOR with Cisco ACE
Hi, We'd like to load balance RADIUS requests over several RADIATOR servers. Therefor we will use an external hardware load balancer: a Cisco ACE (service module). Is there anyone who has experience with this kind of combination, i.e RADIATOR Cisco ACE. Any (white) papers on this subject are welcome, either so any ACE configuration examples. We are particulairy interested in field experiences in the combination Cisco ACE / RADIATOR. (We already have taken notice of the Cisco configuration guide Configuring RADIUS Load Balancing which in genaral describes it, but is not product specific (in this case RADIATOR) :) Regards, Gaston ___ radiator mailing list radiator@open.com.au http://www.open.com.au/mailman/listinfo/radiator

I've done it -- currently in production serving an environment with over 80,000 users. No issues. If you're load balancing TACACS+ you should enable stickiness so that the session remains pinned to one Radiator server. If load balancing simple RADIUS, just do a simple serverfarm and load balance with a least connections or round robin LB algorithm. Hope this helps. -james On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 5:15 AM, Janssen, G.H.C. (Gaston) g.jans...@uci.ru.nl wrote: Hi, We'd like to load balance RADIUS requests over several RADIATOR servers.

EAP and OTP also requires pinning which I personally would always use. Am 2012-05-10 16:56, schrieb James: I've done it -- currently in production serving an environment with over 80,000 users.
