Parameter
retry-times: Specifies the maximum times of retransmission, ranging from 1 to 20. By
default, the value is 3.
Description
Use the retry command to configure retransmission times of RADIUS request packet.
Use the undo retry command to restore the retransmission times to default value.
Because RADIUS protocol uses UDP packets to carry the data, its communication
process is not reliable. If the RADIUS server has not responded NAS until timeout, NAS
has to retransmit RADIUS request packet. Suppose the maximum retransmission times
is N. If the accumulative transmission times is more than N-[N/2] but the primary
RADIUS server still gives no answer, the NAS will consider that it has lost the
communication with the current RADIUS server and then turn to transmit the request to
another RADIUS server.
Setting a suitable retry-time according to the network situation can speed up the system
response.
Related command: radius scheme.
Example
# Set to retransmit the RADIUS request packet no more than 5 times in the RADIUS
scheme “Huawei”.
