radius-server retransmit timeout(RADIUS server group view)

Function

The radius-server retransmit timeout command configures the number of transmission times and retransmission timeout period used by the device to send request packets to RADIUS servers.

The undo radius-server retransmit timeout command restores the default configuration.

By default, the number of transmission times used by the device to send request packets to all RADIUS authentication servers and RADIUS accounting servers is 3, and the retransmission timeout period is 5s.

Format

radius-server { retransmit retry-times | timeout second } ^*

radius-server { authentication | accounting } retransmit retry-times timeout second

undo radius-server { retransmit | timeout } ^*

undo radius-server { authentication | accounting } retransmit timeout

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
retransmit retry-times	Specifies the number of transmission times.	The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 5. The default value is 3.
timeout second	Specifies the retransmission timeout period.	The value ranges from 3 to 25, in seconds. The default value is 5.
authentication	Indicates the number of transmission times or the retransmission timeout period for all RADIUS authentication servers in the RADIUS server group view.	-
accounting	Indicates the number of transmission times or the retransmission timeout period for all RADIUS accounting servers in the RADIUS server group view.	-

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If the device sends a request packet to a RADIUS server but does not receive a response packet from the RADIUS server within a retransmission timeout period, the device resends the request packet to the RADIUS server. If the device does not receive a response packet from the RADIUS server after the second retransmission timeout period expires, the device continues to resend the request packet to the RADIUS server. You can run the radius-server retransmit timeout command on the device to configure the number of transmission times and the retransmission timeout period used by the device to resend request packets to RADIUS servers. If the device does not receive a response packet from a RADIUS server after the number of transmission times is exceeded, the device considers that the device fails to send packets to the RADIUS server.

Precautions

Only when there are no users in the RADIUS server group view, you can modify the number of transmission times or the retransmission timeout period used by the device to send request packets to RADIUS servers.
If you do not specify authentication or accounting in the radius-server retransmit timeout command, the command sets the number of transmission times or the retransmission timeout period for all RADIUS authentication servers and RADIUS accounting servers in the RADIUS server group view.
If authentication is specified in the command, the configurations of this command apply to all RADIUS authentication servers in the RADIUS server group.
If accounting is specified in the command, the configurations of this command apply to all RADIUS accounting servers in the RADIUS server group.
If both the radius-server { retransmit <retry-times> | timeout <timeout-value> }* command and the radius-server { authentication | accounting } retransmit <retry-times> timeout <timeout-value> command are configured, the latter command takes precedence over the former command.

Example

# To configure the packet retransmission time as 2 for group test1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] radius-server group test1
[*HUAWEI-radius-test1] radius-server retransmit 2
