Chapter3 Configuring the CSS as a Client of a RADIUS Server
Configuring the RADIUS Server Dead-Time
To reset the RADIUS server retransmit request to the default of 3 retransmissions,
enter:
(config)# no radius-server retransmit
Configuring the RADIUS Server Dead-Time
During the dead-time interval, the CSS sends probe access-request packets to
verify that the RADIUS server (primary or secondary) is available and can receive
authentication requests. The dead-time interval starts when the server does not
respond to the number of authentication request transmissions configured through
the radius-server retransmit command. When the server responds to a probe
access-request packet, the CSS transmits the authentication request to the server.
Use the radius-server dead-time command to set the time interval in which the
CSS verifies whether a nonresponsive server is operational. Valid entries are 1 to
255 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
To configure the RADIUS server dead-time to 15 seconds, with probe
access-requ ests enabled, enter:
(config)# radius-server dead-time 15
To reset the RADIUS server dead-time request to the default of 5 seconds, enter:
(config)# no radius-server dead-time
Showing RADIUS Server Configuration Information
Use the show radius command to display information and statistics about the
RADIUS server configuration. The syntax and options for the command are as
follows:
•show radius config [all|primary|secondary] - Displays RADIUS
configuration information for a specific server or all servers, identified by
type
•show radius statistics [all|primary|secondary] - Displays RADIUS
authentication statistics for a specific server or all servers, identified by type
To view the configuration for a RADIUS primary server, enter:
(config)# show radius config primary
