Parameter
minutes: Real-time accounting interval. It ranges from 3 minutes to 60 minutes and
must be a multiple of 3. By default, this interval is 12 minutes.
Description
Use the timer realtime-accounting command to set the real-time accounting interval.
Use the undo timer realtime-accounting command to restore the default real-time
accounting interval.
Note that:
z To charge the users in real time, you should set the interval of real-time accounting.
After the setting, the NAS sends the accounting information of online users to the
RADIUS server at regular intervals.
z The setting of the real-time accounting interval depends to some degree on the
performance of the NAS and the RADIUS server. The higher the performance of
the NAS and the RADIUS server is, the shorter the interval can be. You are
recommended to set the interval as long as possible when the number of users is
relatively great (ƒ1000). Table 1-5 lists the numbers of users and the
corresponding recommended intervals.
