DGS-1510 Series Gigabit Ethernet SmartPro Switch CLI Reference Guide
104
Usage Guideline
For authentication via the method list to take effect, enable AAA first by using the aaa new-model
command. Create the method list first by using the aaa authentication login command. If the method list
does not exist, the command does not take effect and the authentication will be done via the default login
method list.
When aaa new-model is enabled, the default method list is used for authentication.
Example
This example shows how to set the local console line to use the method list “CONSOLE-LINE-METHOD”
for login authentication.
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)# aaa authentication login CONSOLE-LINE-METHOD group group2 local
Switch(config)# line console
Switch(config-line)# login authentication CONSOLE-LINE-METHOD
Switch(config-line)#
8-20 radius-server deadtime
This command is used to specify the default duration of the time to skip the unresponsive server. Use the
no form of the command to revert back to the default setting.
radius-server deadtime MINUTES
no radius-server deadtime
Parameters
MINUTES
Specifies the dead time. The valid range is 0 to 1440 (24 hours). When
the setting is 0, the unresponsive server will not be marked as dead.
Default
By default, this value is 0.
Command Mode
Global Configuration Mode.
Command Default Level
Level: 15.
Usage Guideline
This command can be used to improve the authentication processing time by setting the dead time to skip
the unresponsive server host entries.
When the system performs authentication with the authentication server, it attempts one server at a time.
If the attempted server does not respond, the system will attempt the next server. When the system finds
a server does not respond, it will mark the server as down, start a dead time timer, and skip them in
authentication of the following requests until expiration of the dead time.
Example
This example shows how to set the dead time to ten minutes.
