You can configure up to three RADIUS servers per SBC. When more than one RADIUS server is configured and RADIUS authentication is attempted, the server configured with the lowest numeric priority value is tried first. If fallback is configured, the server with the next lowest numeric priority value is tried next. SBC allows a configurable number of retries and time-outs before retry.
