Hello,

 

For FortiSwitch managed by FortiGate (FortiLink) and 802.1x (wired connection-Fortiswitch):

- Which parameter configures the radius authentication timeout? In case of high latency, how long does it take for an authentication to fail with a timeout?

- Which parameter configures the number of authentication attempts before the radius timeout?

 

Thanks,

The RADIUS configuration that are done in FGT are also pushed to the FSW that are managed in FortiLink mode. From FGT CLI you can set the timeout for each RADIUS server:
config user radius
  edit "FNAC"
# set timeout
timeout Enter an integer value from <1> to <300> (default = <5>).
Some details are shown here.
