RADIUS Protocol Configuration Commands 393 Description Use the timer command to configure RADIUS server response timer. Use the undo timer command to restore the default value of the timer. After a RADIUS (authentication/authorization or accounting) request packet has been transmitted for a period of time, if NAS has not received the response from the RADIUS server, it has to retransmit the message to guarantee RADIUS service for the user. The period taken is called RADIUS server response timeout time, which is controlled by the RADIUS server response timeout timer in the Switch. This command is used to set this timer. Setting a suitable timer according to the network situation will enhance system performance. Related commands: radius scheme, retry. Example To set the response timeout timer of RADIUS scheme, 3Com, to 5 seconds, enter the following: system-view System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z. [SW5500]radius scheme 3Com [SW5500-radius-3Com]timer 5 timer Syntax realtime-accounting timer realtime-accounting minute undo timer realtime-accounting View RADIUS Scheme View Parameter minute: Real-time accounting interval, ranging from 3 to 60, measured in minutes in multiples of 3. By default, the value is 12. Description Use the timer realtime-accounting command to configure the real-time accounting interval. Use the undo timer realtime-accounting command to restore the default 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. The value of minute is related to the performance of NAS and RADIUS server. The smaller the value is, the higher the requirement for NAS and RADIUS server is. 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 number of users.
