Generally, the access users are named in the userid@isp-nameor userid.isp-nameformat. Where, isp-nameafter the “@” or “.” character represents the ISP domain name. If the TACACS server does not accept the user names that carry ISP domain names, it is necessary to remove domain names from user names before they are sent to TACACS server.

Configuring the Timers Regarding TACACS Servers

Follow these steps to configure the timers regarding TACACS servers:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks

zTo control the interval at which users are charge in real time, you can set the real-time accounting interval. After the setting, the device periodically sends online users' accounting information to the TACACS server at the set interval.

zThe real-time accounting interval must be a multiple of 3.

zThe setting of real-time accounting interval somewhat depends on the performance of the TACACS client and server devices: A shorter interval requires higher device performance.
