Configuring the Maximum Number of RADIUS Request Transmission Attempts
The communication in RADIUS is unreliable because this protocol uses UDP packets to carry its data.
Therefore, it is necessary for the switch to retransmit a RADIUS request if it gets no response from the
RADIUS server after the response timeout timer expires. If the switch gets no answer after it has tried
the maximum number of times to transmit the request, the switch considers that the request fails.
