Configuring the RADIUS Protocol 229

RADIUS server, it has to retransmit the request to guarantee RADIUS service for the user.

You can use the following command to set response timeout timer of RADIUS server.

Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.

By default, timeout timer of RADIUS server is 3 seconds.

II. Setting a Real-time Accounting Interval

To implement real-time accounting, it is necessary to set a real-time accounting interval. After the attribute is set, NAS will transmit the accounting information of online users to the RADIUS server regularly.

You can use the following command to set a real-time accounting interval.

Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.

Table 2-33 Setting a real-time accounting interval

OperationCommand

Set a real-time accounting intervaltimer realtime-accounting minutes

Restore the default value of the intervalundo timer realtime-accounting

minute specifies the real-time accounting interval in minutes. The value shall 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 are required. When there are a large amount of users (more than 1000, inclusive), we suggest a larger value. The following table recommends the ratio of minute value to the number of users.
