Syntax Description
Defaults RADIUS keepalive state is enabled.
Command Types Switch command.

Usage Guidelines To check whether or not configured RADIUS servers are alive, the switch can send out a dummy
username for authentication. In reply to the dummy username, the RADIUS servers send an access
rejection.
To turn off attempts to authenticate that test the RADIUS servers, enter the set feature
dot1x-radius-keepalive disable command. If you disable this feature, the switch does not c hec k the
status of the servers, and the RADIUS server logs do not fill with dummy attempts.
