Configuring the RADIUS Transmission Retry Count and Timeout Interval for a Server
By default, a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch retries transmission to a RADIUS server only once before
reverting to local authentication. You can increase this number up to a maximum of five retries per server.
You can also set a timeout interval that the switch waits for responses from RADIUS servers before declaring
a timeout failure.
To configure RADIUS transmission retry count and timeout interval for a server, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. #switch(config)# radius-server host {ipv4-address |ipv6-address | host-name} retransmit count
3. switch(config)# switch(config)# radius-server host {ipv4-address |ipv6-address | host-name} timeout
seconds
4. switch(config)# exit
5. (Optional) switch# show radius-server
6. (Optional) switch# copy running-config startup-config
