3. In the Timeout Duration field, specify the timeout value, in seconds, for request
retransmissions.
Consideration to maximum delay time should be given when configuring RADIUS maximum
re
transmit and RADIUS timeout. If multiple RADIUS servers are configured, the maximum
retransmit value on each will run out before the next server is attempted. A retransmit will not
occur until the configured timeout value on that server has passed without a response from
the RADIUS server. Therefore, the maximum delay in receiving a response from the RADIUS
application equals the product of (retransmit times timeout) for all configured servers. If the
RADIUS request was generated by a user login attempt, all user interfaces will be blocked
until the RADIUS application returns a response.
4. From the Accounting
Mode menu, select whether the RADIUS accounting mode is enabled
or disabled on the current server.
