To configure the number of RADIUS server retransmits to 5, enter:

(config)# no radius-server retransmit
Configuring the RADIUS Server Dead-Time
Use the radius-server dead-time command to set the time interval in which the
CSS verifies whether a non-functional server is operational. During the set time
interval, the CSS sends probe access-request packets to verify that the RADIUS
server (primary or secondary) is available and can receive authentication requests.
The dead-time interval starts when the server does not respond to the number of
authentication request transmissions configured through the radius-server
retransmit command. When the server responds to a probe access-request packet,
the CSS transmits the authentication request to the server. Valid entries are 1 to
255 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
To configure the RADIUS server dead-time to 15 seconds, with probe
access-requests enabled, enter:
(config)# radius-server dead-time 15
To set the RADIUS server dead-time request back to the default of 5 seconds,
enter:
(config)# no radius-server dead-time
Showing RADIUS Server Configuration Information
Use the show radius command to display information and statistics about the
RADIUS server configuration. The syntax and options are:
• show radius config [primary|secondary|all] - Display RADIUS
configuration information for a specific server or all servers, identified by
type.
• show radius stat [primary|secondary|all] - Display RADIUS authentication
statistics for a specific server or all servers, identified by type.
