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