retries: Specifies the maximum number of accounting attempts, in the range of 1 to 255.
Usage guidelines
Typically, a RADIUS accounting server checks whether a user is online by using a timeout timer. If
the server does not receive a real-time accounting request for a user in the timeout period, it
considers that a line or device failure has occurred. The server stops accounting for the user.
To work with the RADIUS server, the NAS needs to send real-time accounting requests to the server
before the timer on the server expires and to keep pace with the server in disconnecting the user
when a failure occurs. The NAS disconnects from a user according to the maximum number of
accounting attempts and specific parameters.
For example, the RADIUS server response timeout period is 3 seconds (set with the timer
response-timeout command), the maximum number of RADIUS packet transmission attempts is
three (set with the retry command), the real-time accounting interval is 12 minutes (set with the
timer realtime-accounting command), and the maximum number of accounting attempts is five
(set with the retry realtime-accounting command). In this case, the device generates an
accounting request every 12 minutes, and retransmits the request if it sends the request but receives
no response within 3 seconds. If the device receives no response after transmitting the request three
times, it considers the accounting attempt a failure, and makes another accounting attempt. If five
consecutive accounting attempts fail, the device cuts the user connection.
Examples
# In RADIUS scheme radius1, set the maximum number of accounting attempts to 10.
