C9800 radius-server timeout and retransmit default value

CCC3 — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 03:23:04 GMT

Is there a default value for Server Timeout and retry count when adding radius server on c9800?

If I apply with those values blank, won't I move on to the next radius server?

The default connection timeout is 5 seconds. If no response is received within that window, the controller retries the request. And, the defaur number of retries is 5.

I think it's different from the value I thought.

What I said in the article is the timeout and retry count between 9800 and the rise.
