AAA Radius Server Group Deadtime for a Single Server Group

Sam Nnamani — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 09:34:47 GMT

Hello,

I have a setup where I have two radius server hosts in an aaa radius server group. Each host is configured for 2 retries and timeout set to 2.

Do I need to configure a group server deadtime when I only have this one group?

Sure you need deadtime config' if you not config then it will use defualt.

Thanks for the quick response!

What is the default parameter and its implication?

My assumption is that aaa requests are tied to this single server group and will flip within its members depending on their retries and timeout parameters.
