radius-server retransmit timeout

Function

The radius-server retransmit timeout command sets the number of times that RADIUS request packets are retransmitted, timeout period.

The undo radius-server retransmit timeout command restores the default number of retransmission times, the default timeout period.

By default, the number of retransmission times is , timeout period is seconds.

Format

radius-server { retransmit retry-times | timeout time-value } ^*

undo radius-server { retransmit [ retry-times ] | timeout [ time-value ] } ^*

Parameters

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The retransmission upon timeout mechanism is configured for a device to forward RADIUS Access-Request packets sourced from users to the server. The overall retransmission time depends on the retransmission interval, retransmission times, RADIUS server status, and number of servers configured in the RADIUS server template.

You can configure the number of times that RADIUS request packets are retransmitted and the timeout period using the radius-server retransmit retry-times and radius-server timeout time-value commands, respectively. If a device sends an authentication request packet to the RADIUS server and does not receive any response packet from the server during the timeout period, the device sends an authentication request packet again.

This command can improve the reliability of RADIUS authentication.

Precautions

If more than 8 authentication server IP addresses are configured in the RADIUS server template, reduce the number of retransmission times and timeout period.

Example

# Set the number of retransmission times to 3, the timeout period to 2s.
