With "RADIUS Request Retransmissions” you specify, how often the
device retransmits an unanswered request to the RADIUS server before
the device transmits the request to another RADIUS server.
With “RADIUS time-out” you specify how long (in seconds) the device
waits for a response after a request to the RADIUS server before the
device retransmits the request.

Globally enable the 802.1X port authentication function.
Set the 802.1X port control to "auto". The default setting is "force-
