1.4.5 Setting the Maximum Number of RADIUS Request Retransmission
Attempts
Because RADIUS uses UDP packets to carry data, the communication process is not
reliable. If a NAS receives no response from the RADIUS server before the response
timeout timer expires, it is required to retransmit the RADIUS request. If the number of
transmission attempts exceeds the specified limit but it still receives no response, it
considers the authentication a failure.
Follow these steps to set the maximum number of RADIUS request retransmission
attempts:
