Step 6
Configuring the RADIUS Transmission Retry Count and Timeout Interval for a Server
By default, a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch retries transmission to a RADIUS server only once before
reverting to local authentication. You can increase this number up to a maximum of five retries per server.
You can also set a timeout interval that the switch waits for responses from RADIUS servers before declaring
a timeout failure.
To configure RADIUS transmission retry count and timeout interval for a server, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies the retransmission count for a specific server.
The default is the global value.
#switch(config)# radius-server host
{ipv4-address |ipv6-address |
host-name} retransmit count
Step 2
The retransmission count value specified for
a RADIUS server overrides the count
specified for all RADIUS servers.
Note
Specifies the transmission timeout interval for a
specific server. The default is the global value.
switch(config)# switch(config)#
radius-server host {ipv4-address
Step 3
|ipv6-address | host-name} timeout
seconds
The timeout interval value specified for a
RADIUS server overrides the interval value
specified for all RADIUS servers.
Note
Exits configuration mode.switch(config)# exit
Step 4
(Optional)
Displays the RADIUS server configuration.
switch# show radius-server
Step 5
