max-outstanding max_messages
Specifies the maximum number of outstanding messages a single AAA manager instance will queue.
max_messages
must be an integer from 1 through 4000. Default: 256

marked as unreachable and the detect dead servers consecutive failures count is incremented.
max_retries
must be an integer from 0 through 65535. Default: 5
max-transmissions transmissions
Sets the maximum number of re-transmissions for RADIUS authentication requests. This limit is used in

transmissions
must be an integer from 1 through

When failing to communicate with a RADIUS sever, the subscriber is failed once all of the configured
RADIUS servers have been exhausted or once the configured number of maximum transmissions is reached.
For example, if 3 servers are configured and if the configured max-retries is 3 and max-transmissions is 12,
then the primary server is tried 4 times (once plus 3 retries), the secondary server is tried 4 times, and then a
third server is tried 4 times. If there is a fourth server, it is not tried because the maximum number of
transmissions (12) has been reached.
