Usage Information

When you configure the dot1x server-timeout value, take into account the communication medium used to communicate with an authentication server and the number of RADIUS servers configured. Ideally, the dot1x server-timeout value (in seconds) is based on the configured RADIUS-server timeout and retransmit values and calculated according to the following formula: dot1x server-timeout seconds > (radius-server retransmit seconds + 1) * radius-server timeout seconds.

Where the default values are as follows: dot1x server-timeout (30 seconds), radius-server retransmit (3 seconds), and radius-server timeout (5 seconds).

For example:

Dell(conf)#radius-server host 10.11.197.105 timeout 6
                                                Dell(conf)#radius-server host 10.11.197.105 retransmit 4
                                                Dell(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 2/1
                                                Dell(conf-if-te-2/1)#dot1x server-timeout 40
