If the device does not receive a response to its request from the RADIUS server within the response
timeout period, the device retransmits the RADIUS request. To set the response timeout period, use
the timer response-timeout command.
If the device does not receive a response from the RADIUS server after the maximum number of
transmission attempts is reached, the device considers the request a failure.
If the client times out during the authentication process, the user is immediately logged off. To avoid
user logoffs, the value multiplied by the following items cannot be larger than the client timeout
period defined by the access module:
•
The maximum number of RADIUS packet transmission attempts.
•
The RADIUS server response timeout period.
•
The number of RADIUS authentication servers in the RADIUS scheme.
When the device sends a RADIUS request to a new RADIUS server, it checks the total amount of
time it has taken to transmit the RADIUS packet. If the amount of time has reached 300 seconds, the
device stops sending the RADIUS request to the next RADIUS server. As a best practice, consider
the number of RADIUS servers when you configure the maximum number of packet transmission
attempts and the RADIUS server response timeout period.
Examples
# In RADIUS scheme radius1, set the maximum number of RADIUS packet transmission attempts
to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] retry 5
