FIGURE 62 Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server 4 The RADIUS display contains the following information. Retransmit Timeout Dead Time Key This parameter specifies how many times the Dell device will resend an authentification request when the RADIUS server does not respond. The retransmit value can from 1-5 times. The default is 3 times. This parameter specifies how many seconds the Dell device waits for a response from a RADIUS server before either retrying the authentication request, or determining that the RADIUS servers are unavailable and moving on to the next authentication method in the authentication-method list. The timeout can be from 1 - 15 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. This parameter specifies how long the Dell device waits for the primary authentication server to reply before deciding the server is dead and trying to authenticate using the next server. The dead-time value can be from 1 - 5 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. This parameter in the RADIUS-server command is used to encrypt RADIUS packets before they are sent over the network. The value for the key parameter on the Dell device should match the one configured on the RADIUS server. The key can be from 1 - 32 characters in length and cannot include any space characters.
