response from the RADIUS server. The range is from 1 to 120 seconds.
(Optional) Set the number of times that the switch does not get a valid response from
the RADIUS server before the server is considered unavailable. The range is from 1 to
100.
Modification
This command was introduced.
Use the radius-server timeout seconds global configuration command to specify the time in
seconds during which the switch waits for a RADIUS server to respond before the IEEE 802.1x
authentication times out. The switch dynamically determines the default seconds value that is from
10 to 60 seconds.
Use the radius-server retransmit retries global configuration command to specify the number of
times the switch tries to reach the radius servers before considering the servers to be unavailable.
The switch dynamically determines the default tries value that is from 10 to 100.
The seconds parameter is less than or equal to the number of retransmission attempts times the time
in seconds before the IEEE 802.1x authentication times out.
The tries parameter should be the same as the number of retransmission attempts.
