Configuring the Global RADIUS Transmission Retry Count and Timeout Interval

You can configure a global retransmission retry count and timeout interval for all RADIUS servers. By default,
a 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. The timeout interval determines how long
the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch waits for responses from RADIUS servers before declaring a timeout
failure.
To configure the global RADIUS transmission retry count and timeout interval, perform this task:
