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.
