config.security.authentication.RADIUS.attempts
syntax
attempts index attempts
Purpose This command configures the number of attempts a packet will be
sent to a RADIUS server if a response is not received before the
timeout. After the transmit attempt limit is reached, the switch will, if
applicable, move on to the next defined RADIUS server. The default
is 3 attempts.
Parameters This command has two required parameters:
Command Example
Root> config security authentication RADIUS attempts 3 20
config.security.authentication.RADIUS.deadtime
Syntax
deadtime minutes
Purpose This command configures the number of minutes a RADIUS server is
marked as “dead”. If a RADIUS server does not respond to an
authentication request, it can be marked as “dead” for a specified
time interval. This may speed up authentication by eliminating
timeouts and retransmissions. If no alternate RADIUS servers are
available (when only one server is configured or when all are marked
dead), then the deadtime is ignored. Deadtime may be 0 to 1440
minutes. The default is 0.
index Index of the RADIUS sever (1-3) to
change the transmit attempts value.
attempts The number of transmit attempts. Valid
values are between 1 and 100.
