Setting timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers

Page 37 highlights

between the NAS and the RADIUS server, the source IP address of outgoing RADIUS packets must be a public IP address of the NAS. You can specify a source IP address for outgoing RADIUS packets in RADIUS scheme view for a specific RADIUS scheme, or in system view for all RADIUS schemes whose servers are in the same VPN. Before sending a RADIUS packet, a NAS selects a source IP address in the following order: • Source IP address specified for the RADIUS scheme. • Source IP address specified in system view for the VPN. • IP address of the outbound interface specified by the route. To specify a source IP address for all RADIUS schemes: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Specify a source IP address for outgoing RADIUS packets. Command system-view radius nas-ip { ip-address | ipv6 ipv6-address } [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] Remarks N/A By default, the IP address of the outbound interface is used as the source IP address. To specify a source IP address for a specific RADIUS scheme: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter RADIUS scheme view. Command system-view radius scheme radius-scheme-name 3. Specify a source IP address nas-ip { ip-address | ipv6 for outgoing RADIUS packets. ipv6-address } Remarks N/A N/A By default, the IP address of the outbound interface is used as the source IP address. Setting timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers The switch uses the following types of timers to control the communication with a RADIUS server: • Server response timeout timer (response-timeout)-Defines the RADIUS request retransmission interval. After sending a RADIUS request (authentication/authorization or accounting request), the switch starts this timer. If the switch receives no response from the RADIUS server before this timer expires, it resends the request. • Server quiet timer (quiet)-Defines the duration to keep an unreachable server in blocked state. If a server is not reachable, the switch changes the server's status to blocked, starts this timer for the server, and tries to communicate with another server in active state. After this timer expires, the switch changes the status of the server back to active. • Real-time accounting timer (realtime-accounting)-Defines the interval at which the switch sends real-time accounting packets to the RADIUS accounting server for online users. To implement real-time accounting, the switch must periodically send real-time accounting packets to the accounting server for online users. To set timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers: Step 1. Enter system view. Command system-view 27 Remarks N/A

Setting timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers
The switch uses the following types of timers to control the communication with a RADIUS server:
Server response timeout timer
(
response-timeout
)—Defines the RADIUS request retransmission
interval. After sending a RADIUS request (authentication/authorization or accounting request), the
switch starts this timer. If the switch receives no response from the RADIUS server before this timer
expires, it resends the request.
Server quiet timer
(
quiet
)—Defines the duration to keep an unreachable server in blocked state. If
a server is not reachable, the switch changes the server’s status to blocked, starts this timer for the
server, and tries to communicate with another server in active state. After this timer expires, the
switch changes the status of the server back to active.
Real-time accounting timer
(
realtime-accounting
)—Defines the interval at which the switch sends
real-time accounting packets to the RADIUS accounting server for online users. To implement
real-time accounting, the switch must periodically send real-time accounting packets to the
accounting server for online users.
