Description
This command configures the timers that you can apply to clients and servers.
Syntax
Parameter Description Range Default
dead-time <minutes>
Maximum period, in minutes, that the controller
considers an unresponsive authentication
server to be “out of service”.
This timer is only applicable if there are two or
more authentication servers configured on the
controller. If there is only one authentication
server configured, the server is never
considered out of service and all requests are
sent to the server.
If one or more backup servers are configured
and a server is unresponsive, it is marked as out
of service for the dead time; subsequent
requests are sent to the next server on the
priority list for the duration of the dead time. If
the server is responsive after the dead time has
elapsed, it can take over servicing requests
from a lower-priority server; if the server
continues to be unresponsive, it is marked as
down for the dead time.
0-50 10 minutes
idle-timeout
<1-15300>
Maximum number of minutes after which a
client is considered idle if there is no user traffic
from the client.
The timeout period is reset if there is a user
traffic. If there is no IP traffic in the timeout
period or there is no 802.11 traffic as indicated
in the station ageout time that is set in the wlan
ssid profile, the client is aged out. Once the
timeout period has expired, the user is removed
immediately and no ping request is sent. If the
seconds parameter is not specified, the value
defaults to minutes.
