Chapter 3 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-serverdead-timecommand 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-requests 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 [allprimarysecondary] - Displays RADIUS configuration information for a specific server or all servers, identified by type

show radius statistics [allprimarysecondary] - 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
