Hello Kings, Thanks for the response. So this is somewhat similar to the dot1x max-req and max-reauth-period commands?
Ok, i'm going to use an example. Suppose i've configured the : - *radius-server deadtime 1* - *radius-server dead-criteria time 30 tries 3* My understanding is that, first the NAS sends the radius access-request to the radius server and waits for the response. According the dead-criteria, it waits for 30 seconds and if it receives no response, it tries again and increments the tries counter to 1. It tries for 2 more times ( 30 X 2 = 60 seconds ) and it then marks the radius-server as "DOWN". Now, after the radius-server is marked as down, no further access-request messages are sent to the radius-server for the duration of time configured using the "radius-server deadtime 1" command , i.e 1 minute. So after one minute, the whole process starts all over again? The caveat to this whole thing is that , unless we configure the radius-server deadtime command, even though the radius server fails to respond after 3 attempts, it will still be shown as up and the NAS will keep trying to contact the radius-server. Please correct me if i've erred somewhere. Cheers, TacACK
