Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task

IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator

for assistance.

The default authentication time is 10 seconds, which should allow time for a remote router to authenticate

and authorize the connection and provide a response. However, it is also possible that it will take much less

time than 10 seconds. In such cases, use the ppp timeout authentication command to lower the timeout

period to improve connection times in the event that an authentication response is lost.

The timeout affects connection times only if packets are lost.

Although lowering the authentication timeout is beneficial if packets are lost, sending authentication

requests faster than the peer can handle them results in churn and a slower connection time.
