Technical Tip: RADIUS processing delays when RadiusManager debug is enabled
Description
When RadiusManager debug is enabled, the RADIUS request queue can back up.
CPU load increases and it can take longer for the appliance to respond to RADIUS requests.
This is most apparent in larger wireless environments managed by the appliance.
Output.master logs show a significant increase in ptimes when reviewing logs.
To disable RadiusManager debug type.
CampusMgrDebug -name -RadiusManager false
OR
nacdebug -name -RadiusManager false
Scope
Version: 8.8.2 and higher
Solution
Workaround: Enable RadiusDebug device attribute:
SetDeviceAttrs -dbid 2 -set -name RadiusDebug -value 1 <----- Set by default.
For more detailed information, type:
SetDeviceAttrs -dbid 2 -set -name RadiusDebug -value 1283
Solution: To be fixed in the upcoming 8.8.9 release.
