Setting the Global RADIUS Server Timeout Value

Configuring TACACS+ on the ACE

OL-16202-01
Configuring the ACE as a Client of a RADIUS, TACACS+, or LDAP Server
To revert to the default of one transmission attempt, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# no radius-server retransmit 3
By default, the ACE waits 1 second for the RADIUS server to send a reply to an
authentication request to an unresponsive server before retransmitting an
authentication request to the server. Use the radius-server timeout command to
globally change the time interval that the ACE waits for the RADIUS server to
reply before retransmitting an authentication request to the RADIUS server. The
ACE applies this global timeout value to those RADIUS servers for which a
timeout value is not individually configured by the radius-server host command.
The syntax of this command is as follows:
radius-server timeout seconds
The seconds argument is the time in seconds between retransmissions to the
RADIUS server. Valid entries are from 1 to 60 seconds. The default is 1 second.
For example, to globally configure the timeout value to 30 seconds, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# radius-server timeout 30
To revert to the default of 1 second between transmission attempts, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# no radius-server timeout 30
The ACE supports the TACACS+ protocol to communicate with a TACACS+
server for authentication and accounting services. This section defines the
configuration of the ACE to operate as a client of a TACACS+ server.
