Setting the Default RADIUS Server Timeout Interval and Retransmits

By default, a switch retries transmission to a RADIUS server only once before reverting to local authentication. You can increase this number up to a maximum of five retries per server. You can also configure the timeout value for the RADIUS server.

Detailed Steps

To configure the number of retransmissions and the time between retransmissions to the RADIUS servers, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches > Security > AAA, and then select RADIUS.

    2. You see the RADIUS configuration in the Information pane.

  2. Choose the Defaults tab.

    3. You see the RADIUS default settings.

  3. Fill in the Timeout and Retransmits fields for authentication attempts.
  4. Click the Apply Changes icon to save the changes.
