Chapter 2 Configuring User Profiles and CSS Parameters
Configuring the CSS as a Client of a RADIUS Server
To specify a secondary RADIUS server, enter:
(config)# radius-server secondary 172.27.56.79 secret Hello
auth-port 30658
To remove a secondary RADIUS server, enter:
(config)# no radius-server secondary
Configuring the RADIUS Server Timeouts
Use the radius-server timeout command to specify the time interval that the CSS
is to wait for the RADIUS server (primary or secondary) to reply to an
authentication request before retransmitting requests to the RADIUS server. You
configure the number of retransmitted requests to the server through the
radius-server retransmit command. Valid entries are 1 to 255 seconds. The
default is 10 seconds.
To configure the configure the RADIUS server timeout interval to 1 minute
(60 seconds), enter:
(config)# radius-server timeout 60
To set the RADIUS server retransmit request back to the default of 10 seconds,
enter:
(config)# no radius-server timeout
Configuring the RADIUS Server Retransmits
Use the radius-server retransmit command to specify the number of times the
CSS is to retransmit an authentication request to a timed-out RADIUS server
before considering the server dead and stop transmitting. If a secondary RADIUS
server has been identified, that server is selected as the active server. Valid entries
are 1 to 30 retries. The default is 3.
If the RADIUS server does not respond to the CSS retransmitted requests, the
CSS considers the server as dead, stops transmitting to the server, and starts the
dead timer as defined through the radius-server dead-time command. If a
secondary server is configured, the CSS transmits the requests to the secondary
server. If the secondary server does not respond to the request, the CSS considers
it dead and starts the dead timer. If there is no active server, the CSS stops
transmitting requests until the primary RADIUS server becomes alive.
