Fortigate: Secondary RADIUS Server for WiFi 802.1x authentication

Hi all, I have an SSID using 802.1x authentication and would like to configure a secondary RADIUS server for redundancy. However it seems like I can only select one server. Any ideas how can I configure this? Thanks.

Only one RADIUS server object is permitted here. In order to have failover, you can set up secondary and tertiary server addresses within one RADIUS object.

 

config user radius
edit "<object-name>"
set server <first-radius-server-address>

set secret <secret1>
set secondary-server <second-radius-server-address>
set secondary-secret <secret2>
set tertiary-server <third-radius-server-address>
set tertiary-secret <secret3>
next
end

[ corrections always welcome ]
