Configuring Periodic RADIUS Server Monitoring on Individual Servers
You can monitor the availability of individual RADIUS servers. The configuration parameters include the
username and password to use for the server and an idle timer. The idle timer specifies the interval during
which a RADIUS server receives no requests before the Cisco NX-OS device sends out a test packet. You
can configure this option to test servers periodically, or you can run a one-time only test.
Note Test parameters that are configured for individual servers take precedence over global test parameters.
Note
For security reasons, we recommend that you do not configure a test username that is the same as an existing
user in the RADIUS database.
