2.3.4 Setting Response Timeout Timer of RADIUS Server
After RADIUS (authentication/authorization or accounting) request packet has been
transmitted for a period of time, if NAS has not received the response from RADIUS
server, it has to retransmit the request to guarantee RADIUS service for the user.
You can use the following command to set response timeout timer of RADIUS server.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.

By default, timeout timer of RADIUS server is 3 seconds.
2.3.5 Setting Retransmission Times of RADIUS Request Packet
Since RADIUS protocol uses UDP packet to carry the data, the communication process
is not reliable. If the RADIUS server has not responded NAS before timeout, NAS has
to retransmit RADIUS request packet. If it transmits more than the specified
retry-times
,
NAS considers the communication with the primary and secondary RADIUS servers
has been disconnected.
You can use the following command to set retransmission times of RADIUS request
packet.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.
