Multi-site configuration

 If you need to send the data to more than one server, such as TIM Enterprise and UCC server for example, you can set up multiple RADIUS connections in the phone system. To configure a multi-site system, follow the steps below:

Info
Replace SITE_NAME with a unique name for the destination RADIUS information.
Replace SITE_IP with the IP address of the RADIUS server.
Replace SITE_KEY with the secret you want to assign to that specific site.

Info

For a system with five or more RADIUS servers, it is recommended to amend the server retransmit options in the UCME, in order to reduce the stress on the phone system.

IP radius source-interface

To force RADIUS to use the IP address of a specified interface for all outgoing RADIUS packets, use the 

Keywordmacro
Labelip radius source-interface
command in global configuration mode.  If you don't wish to use the IP address of a specified interface, use the 
Referencemacro
