This example shows how to allow users to select a RADIUS server when logging in to a network:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# radius-server directed-request
switch# exit
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Configuring the Global RADIUS Transmission Retry Count and Timeout Interval
You can configure a global retransmission retry count and timeout interval for all RADIUS servers. By default,
a switch retries transmission to a RADIUS server only once before reverting to local authentication. You can
increase this number up to a maximum of five retries per server. The timeout interval determines how long
the Cisco Nexus device waits for responses from RADIUS servers before declaring a timeout failure.
