Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration move.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Allows users to specify a RADIUS server to send
the authentication request when logging in. The
default is disabled.
switch(config)# radius-server
directed-request
Step 2
Exits configuration mode.switch(config)# exit
Step 3
(Optional)
Displays the directed request configuration.
switch# show radius-server
directed-request
Step 4
(Optional)
Copies the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
switch# copy running-config
startup-config
Step 5
This example shows how to allow users to select a RADIUS server when logging in to a network:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server directed-request
switch# exit
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring the Global RADIUS Transmission Retry Count and Timeout Interval
You can configure a global retransmission retry count and timeout interval for all RADIUS servers. By default,
a switch retries transmission to a RADIUS server only once before reverting to local authentication. You can
increase this number up to a maximum of five retries per server. The timeout interval determines how long
the Cisco Nexus device waits for responses from RADIUS servers before declaring a timeout failure.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration move.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Specifies the retransmission count for all RADIUS
servers. The default retransmission count is 1 and the
range is from 0 to 5.
switch(config)# radius-server
retransmit count
Step 2
Specifies the transmission timeout interval for
RADIUS servers. The default timeout interval is 5
seconds and the range is from 1 to 60 seconds.
switch(config)# radius-server
timeout seconds
Step 3
Exits global configuration mode.switch(config)# exit
