Information
When you configure the dot1x server-timeout value, you must take into account the
communication medium used to communicate with an authentication server and the
number of RADIUS servers configured. Ideally, the
dot1x server-timeout value (in
seconds) is based on the configured RADIUS-server timeout and retransmit values
and calculated according to the following formula:
dot1x server-timeout seconds > (radius-server retransmit seconds + 1) * radius-server
timeout
seconds
Where the default values are as follows: dot1x server-timeout (30 seconds),
radius-server retransmit (3 seconds), and radius-server timeout (5 seconds).
For example:
FTOS(conf)#radius-server host 10.11.197.105 timeout 6
FTOS(conf)#radius-server host 10.11.197.105 retransmit 4
FTOS(conf)#interface gigabitethernet 2/23
FTOS(conf-if-gi-2/23)#dot1x server-timeout 40
dot1x supplicant-timeout
