response, NAS considers the communication with the current RADIUS server disconnected and will transmit the request packet to other RADIUS servers.

Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.

Table 239 Set Retransmission Times of RADIUS Request Packet

Restore the default value of retransmission	undo retry
times

By default, RADIUS request packet will be retransmitted up to three times.

Enabling the Selection of the RADIUS Accounting Option

If no RADIUS server is available or if RADIUS accounting server fails when the accounting optional is configured, the user can still use the network resource, otherwise, the user will be disconnected.

Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.

Table 241 Set a Real-Time Accounting Interval

Operation	Command
Set a real-time accounting interval	timer realtime-accounting minute
Restore the default value of the interval	undo timer realtime-accounting

The minute variable specifies the real-time accounting interval in minutes. The value must be a multiple of 3.

The value of minute is related to the performance of NAS and RADIUS server. The smaller the value is, the higher the performances of NAS and RADIUS have to be. When there are a large amount of users (more than 1000, inclusive), we suggest a
