Parameter description:
Timeout:
The Timeout, which can be set to a number between 3 and 3600 seconds, is the maximum time to wait for a reply from
a server.
If the server does not reply within this timeframe, we will consider it to be dead and continue with the next enabled
server (if any).
RADIUS servers are using the UDP protocol, which is unreliable by design. In order to cope with lost frames, the timeout
interval is divided into 3 subintervals of equal length. If a reply is not received within the subinterval, the request is
transmitted again. This algorithm causes the RADIUS server to be queried up to 3 times before it is considered to be
dead.
Dead Time:
The Dead Time, which can be set to a number between 0 and 3600 seconds, is the period during which the switch will
not send new requests to a server that has failed to respond to a previous request. This will stop the switch from continually
trying to contact a server that it has already determined as dead.
Setting the Dead Time to a value greater than 0 (zero) will enable this feature, but only if more than one server has been
configured.
