Configuring Max Transmissions

Use the following configuration to configure max transmissions in the RADIUS server.

config 
   profile radius 
      max-transmissions value 
      end 

NOTES:

  • profile radius : Enter the RADIUS configuration mode.

  • max-transmissions value : Max transmission allows you to configure the transmission parameters for all the available servers. This feature helps to cross-check if the number of transmissions exceeds the number of retries once the retry cycle for a request is finished, and if so, it begins the subsequent retry cycle on a different server if one is available. If no server is available or if maxtransimissions limit is reached, then the server database sends out the timeout response.

    value: must be an integer in the range of 0–65535. Default: 6.

  • Max transmission value should always be higher value than the max retries +1. It is recommended to use maxTransmissions number as multiples of (maxRetries +1).

  • Based on the maxTransmissions, time spent on a single request increases and remains in the system without providing a response by retrying on other servers. As a result, system resources are used up, which may lead to performance degradation.

Use the following configuration to configure max transmissions in the RADIUS server group.

config 
   profile radius 
      server-group group_name 
         max-transmissions value 
         end 

NOTES:

  • profile radius : Enter the RADIUS configuration mode.

  • server-group group_name : Enter the server group on which you want to configure the max-transmissions.

  • max-transmissions value : Max transmission allows you to configure the transmission parameters for all the available servers.
