Configuring RADIUS
Accounting-on
Real-time accounting interval (realtime-accounting): This timer defines the
■
interval for performing real-time accounting of users. After this timer is set, the
switch will send accounting information of online users to the RADIUS server at
the specified interval.
Follow these steps to set timers regarding RADIUS servers:
To do...
Enter system view
Create a RADIUS scheme and
enter RADIUS scheme view
Set the RADIUS server
response timeout timer
Set the quiet timer for the
primary server
Set the real-time accounting
interval
The product of the maximum number of retransmission attempts of RADIUS
■
packets and the RADIUS server response timeout period cannot be greater
than 75. This product is also the upper limit of the timeout time of different
access modules.
The product of the RADIUS server response timeout period of different access
■
modules and the maximum number of retransmission attempts cannot be
greater than the timeout time of the access module. For example, because the
timeout time of voice access is 10 seconds, the product of the response
timeout time and the maximum number of retransmission attempts cannot
exceed 10 seconds; because the timeout time of Telnet access is 30 seconds,
the product of the two parameters cannot exceed 30 seconds. For detailed
information about timeout time of a specific access module, refer to the
corresponding part in the Access Volume.
To configure the maximum number of retransmission attempts of RADIUS
■
packets, refer to the command retry in the command manual.
With the accounting-on function enabled, a device sends, whenever it reboots,
accounting-on packets to the RADIUS server, requesting the server to force its
users offline.
Once configured, the accounting-on function is executed as soon as the device
restarts and completes its configuration. In case that the majority of the RADIUS
servers (a device can be configured with 16 schemes at most) fail to respond to the
accounting-on packets, the number of accounting-on packet retransmission
attempts is too big, or the accounting-on packet retransmission interval is too
long, the device will not handle AAA services until all these packets are
retransmitted and all RADIUS servers have responded to accounting-on packets.
Follow these steps to configure accounting-on function of a RADIUS server:
Use the command...
system-view
radius scheme
radius-scheme-name
timer response-timeout
seconds
timer quiet minutes
timer realtime-accounting
minutes
