server
Restore the default value of the response
timeout timer of RADIUS server
The default value of the response timeout timer of a RADIUS server is 3 seconds.
When the communication between the switch and the RADIUS Server is
interrupted, the switch will stop processing request packets from the users, and
will send user request packets to the RADIUS Server after it has waited for a
certain period of time.
Use the following command to set the quiet time of the RADIUS Server.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 214 Set quiet time of RADIUS Server
Operation
Set quiet time of RADIUS Server
Restore quiet time of RADIUS Server to the default value
By default, the quiet time of the primary server is 5 minutes.
Since RADIUS protocol uses UDP packet to carry the data, the communication
process is not reliable. If the RADIUS server has not responded NAS before
timeout, NAS has to retransmit RADIUS request packet. If it transmits more than
the specified retry-times, NAS considers the communication with the current
RADIUS server has been disconnected, and turn to send request packet to other
RADIUS server.
You can use the following command to set retransmission times of RADIUS
request packet.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 215 Set the retransmission times of RADIUS request packets
Operation
Set retransmission times of RADIUS request packet
Restore the default value of retransmission times
By default, RADIUS request packet will be retransmitted up to three times.
If no RADIUS server is available or if RADIUS accounting server fails when the
accounting optional is configured, the user can still use the network resource,
otherwise, the user will be disconnected.
