Configuring the RADIUS Transmission Retry Count and Timeout Interval for a
Server
By default, a 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 Nexus 5000 Series 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:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
#switch(config)# radius-server host
{ipv4-address |ipv6-address | host-name}
retransmit count
Step 3
switch(config)# switch(config)#
radius-server host {ipv4-address
|ipv6-address | host-name} timeout seconds
Step 4
switch(config)# exit
