Description

By default Radius Authentication messages use port 1812 and Accounting messages use port 1813.
But we see all the messages using 1812 only. This creates a problem with some Radius accounting software.
 

Resolution

Configure a Radius Action using CLI and dont specify a port on it:

> add radiusaction <Profile name> serverip x.x.x.x radkey xxyyzz

Currently, there is no option to do the same on GUI.
 

Problem Cause

When you configure a Radius Action or Server, you have to specify a port used for communication. Whatever port you use there will be used by defualt for all the Radius related messages.

Issue/Introduction

All the messages are going from Port 1812 only.
