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 Cisco NX-OS device 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 NX-OS device waits for responses from RADIUS servers before declaring a
timeout failure.
