Usage
Information
When you configure the dot1x server-timeout value, take into account the communication medium
used to communicate with an authentication server and the number of RADIUS servers configured.
Ideally, the dot1x server-timeout value (in seconds) is based on the configured RADIUS-server
timeout and retransmit values and calculated according to the following formula: dot1x server-
timeout seconds > (radius-server retransmit seconds + 1) * radius-server timeout seconds.
Where the default values are as follows: dot1x server-timeout (30 seconds), radius-server
retransmit (3 seconds), and radius-server timeout (5 seconds).
Example
Dell(conf)# radius-server host 10.11.197.105 timeout 6
Dell(conf)# radius-server host 10.11.197.105 retransmit 4
Dell(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 2/23
Dell(conf-if-te-2/23)# dot1x server-timeout 40
Dell(conf-if-te-2/23)#
