Don't mean to be a pain ... Whan will support for timeouts and trys
be in comOS?

cisco:

! Radius config -- searches servers in order here
! (MUST define auth and acct-ports in our case for oddball ports)
radius-server host x.x.x.x auth-port xxxx acct-port xxxx
radius-server host x.x.x.x auth-port xxxx acct-port xxxx
! Half-life for unresposive radius servers (default is 0 minutes)
radius-server dead-time 0
! Radius server search list recursive times (default is 2 times)
radius-server retransmit 2
! Radius server request timeout (default is 5 seconds)
radius-server timeout 5
! Force radius to use specific source address (interface address)
ip radius source-interface ethernet 0
