After setting up the Radius Server on Site A and Site to Site VPN, we tried to test a User and found that the request was going through X0 interface instead of X1:V10 interface:

After running a couple of tests we were unable to redirect the traffic via X1:V10 interface as X0 interface was always taking precedence. So for testing purpose we UNCHECKED the “SEND THROUGH VPN TUNNEL” check box and traffic started redirecting through X1:V10 interface.

 

So the conclusion to the above discussed issue is, if you want to redirect traffic to send Radius requests via a dedicated interface of your choice then “SEND THROUGH VPN TUNNEL” must be unchecked.

 

Example, we have the option to redirect traffic for SYSLOGS via dedicated interface:

 

 

Similarly, we can do the same for Radius server but by unchecking the “SEND THROUGH VPN TUNNEL” check box.
