Parameters
retry-times: Maximum number of transmission attempts, ranging from 1 to 20 and
defaulting to 3.
Description
Use the retry command to set the maximum number of transmission attempts of
RADIUS requests.
Use the undo retry command to restore the default maximum number of transmission
attempts.
Note that:
z The communication in RADIUS is unreliable because this protocol adopts UDP
packets to carry data. Therefore, it is necessary for the switch to retransmit a
RADIUS request if it gets no response from the RADIUS server after the response
timeout timer expires. If the maximum number of transmission attempts is reached
but the switch still receives no response, the switch considers that the request
fails.
z Appropriately setting this maximum number of transmission attempts according to
the network situation can improve the response speed of the system.
