Step 6
This example shows how to configure RADIUS server host 10.10.1.1 with a username (user1) and password
(Ur2Gd2BH) and with an idle timer of 3 minutes and a deadtime of 5 minutes:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server host 10.10.1.1 test username user1 password Ur2Gd2BH idle-time
3
switch(config)# radius-server deadtime 5
switch(config)# exit
switch# copy running-config startup-config

Configuring the Dead-Time Interval

You can configure the dead-time interval for all RADIUS servers. The dead-time interval specifies the time
that the Cisco Nexus device waits after declaring a RADIUS server is dead, before sending out a test packet
to determine if the server is now alive. The default value is 0 minutes.
Note When the dead-time interval is 0 minutes, RADIUS servers are not marked as dead even if they are not
responding. You can configure the dead-time interval for a RADIUS server group. See
RADIUS Server Groups, on page
