Radius service tracking Radius service tracking locates the availability of the RADIUS service configured on the switch. It helps to minimize the waiting period for new clients in the unauth-vid (Guest Vlan) when authentication fails because of service is not available, as well as previously authenticated clients in unauth-vid (Guest Vlan) when re-authentication fails because service is not available during the re-authentication period. Note that this feature is disabled by default. radius-server tracking Syntax [no] radius-server tracking <enable|disable>

Selected Answer: C

Effect of RADIUS tracking on pre- auth role: If RADIUS tracking is enabled and no RADIUS server is available for authentication, the port will be changed from a pre- auth role VLAN to a critical VLAN. The time taken to move from pre- auth role VLAN to critical VLAN depends on the time it takes for RADIUS tracker to inform the subsystem.
