Parameter
seconds: Response timeout time of RADIUS server, ranging from 1 second to 10
seconds. By default, the response timeout time of the RADIUS server is three seconds.
Description
Use the timer command to set the response timeout time of RADIUS server (that is, the
timeout time of the response timeout timer of RADIUS server).
Use the undo timer command to restore the default response timeout timer of RADIUS
server.
Note that:
z If the switch gets no response from the RADIUS server after sending out a
RADIUS request (authentication/authorization request or accounting request) and
waiting for a time, it should retransmit the packet to ensure that the user can obtain
the RADIUS service. This wait time is called response timeout time of RADIUS
server; and the timer in the switch system that is used to control this time is called
the response timeout timer of RADIUS server. You can use the timer command to
set the timeout time of this timer.
z Appropriately setting the timeout time of this timer according to the network
situation can improve the performance of the system.
z The timer command has the same effect with the timer response-timeout
command.
Related command: radius scheme and retry.
Example
# Set the timeout time of the response timeout timer for the RADIUS scheme radius1 to
5 seconds.
