RADIUS Commands
This chapter is a reference for Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) commands, RADIUS provides centralized Authentication, Authorization management for users that connect to and use a network service. RADIUS is specified in RFC 2865.
Note: Only network administrators can execute these commands. For more, see the
username command.
Note: The commands below are supported only on the “management” VRF.

radius-server login timeout
Use this command to set the global timeout which is how long the device waits for a response from a RADIUS server before declaring a timeout failure.
Use the no form of this command to set the global timeout to its default (1 second).
Note: TELNET client session's default timeout is 60 seconds, so configuring timeout of 60 seconds timeout impacts TELNET client applications, because it cannot be fallback to use the other configured server/group. Hence it is recommended to configure 57 seconds or lesser timeout while using TELNET. This timeout doesn't have an impact on SSH connections.
Command Syntax
radius-server login timeout <1-60> (vrf management|)
no radius-server login timeout (vrf management|)
Parameters
login
Remote login
<1-60>
Range of timeout period in seconds
vrf
Virtual Routing and Forwarding
management
Management VRF
Note: The system takes minimum 3 secs to timeout even though the configured timeout value is less than 3 seconds. Hence do not configure timeout value less than 3 secs. The timeout range value is mentioned as 1-60 secs for backward compatibility.
Default
By default, radius-server login timeout is 5 seconds
Command Mode
Configure mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#radius-server login timeout 15 vrf management
#configure terminal
(config)#no radius-server login timeout 15 vrf management
