” command restores the default setting.
Parameters:
<seconds>
is the timer value (second) for RADIUS server timeout, the
valid range is 1 to 1000.
Command mode:
Global Mode
Default:
The default value is 3 seconds.
Usage Guide:
This command specifies the interval for the switch to wait RADIUS server
response. The switch waits for corresponding response packets after sending RADIUS
Server request packets. If RADIUS server response is not received in the specified
waiting time, the switch resends the request packet or sets the server as invalid
according to the current conditions.
Example:
Setting the RADIUS authentication timeout timer value to 30 seconds.
Switch(Config)# radius-server timeout 30

Fig 20-2 IEEE 802.1x Configuration Example Topology
The PC is connecting to port 1/2 of the switch; IEEE 802.1x authentication is
enabled on port 1/2; the access mode is the default MAC-based authentication. The
switch IP address is 10.1.1.2. Any port other than port 1/2 is used to connect to RADIUS
authentication server, which has an IP address of 10.1.1.3, and use the default port 1812
for authentication and port 1813 for accounting. IEEE 802.1x authentication client
software is installed on the PC and is used in IEEE 802.1x authentication.
The configuration procedures are listed below:
Switch(Config)#interface vlan 1
