radius-server timeout <1-
1000>

= Specifies the timeout period (in seconds) the

Switch will wait for a response from a RADIUS
server. If 2 RADIUS servers are configured, this
is the total time the Switch will wait for a
response from either server.

mode

= Specifies the way the Switch will process

requests from the clients to the RADIUS server.
(Only applicable with multiple RADIUS servers
configured.)

priority

- When a client sends an

authentication request through the Switch to the
RADIUS server. The Switch will forward the
request to the RADIUS server. If no response
within half the timeout period, it will forward the
request to the second RADIUS server.

round-robin

- When a client sends an

authentication request through the Switch to the
RADIUS server. The Switch will forward the
request to the first RADIUS server. If there is no
response within the timeout period, the request
times out. The client sends an authentication
request again and the Switch forwards the
request to the second RADIUS server.

port-access-authenticator

= Enables port authentication on the Switch.

port-access-authenticator

= Specifies which ports require authentication.

reauthenticate

= Enables reauthentication on the port.

reauth-period period>
