Retry - 3Com 8807 Command Reference Manual

RADIUS Protocol Configuration Commands 343
Description
Use the reset stop-accounting-buffer command to reset the stopping
accounting requests, which are saved in the buffer and have not been responded.
After transmitting the stopping accounting requests, if there is no response from
the RADIUS scheme, the switch will save the packet in the buffer and retransmit it
for several times, which is set through the retry stop-accounting command.
This command is used to delete the stopping accounting requests from the switch
buffer. You can select to delete the packets transmitted to a specified RADIUS
scheme, or according to the Session-id or username, or delete the packets
transmitted during the specified time-range.
Related command: stop-accounting-buffer enable, retry stop-accounting,
display stop-accounting-buffer.
Example
# Delete the stopping accounting requests saved in the system buffer by the user,
user0001@3com163.net.
<SW8800> reset stop-accounting-buffer user-name user0001@3com163.net
# Delete the stopping accounting requests saved in the system buffer since 0:0:0
to 23:59:59 on August 31, 2002.
<SW8800> reset stop-accounting-buffer time-range 0:0:0-2002/08/31 23
:59:59-2002/08/31

Parameter
retry-times: Specifies the maximum times of retransmission, ranging from 1 to 20.
By default, the value is 3.
Description
Use the retry command to configure retransmission times of RADIUS request
packet.
Use the undo retry command to restore the retransmission times to default value.
Because RADIUS protocol uses UDP packets to carry the data, its communication
process is not reliable. If the RADIUS server has not responded NAS until timeout,
NAS has to retransmit RADIUS request packet. Suppose the maximum
retransmission times is N. If the accumulative transmission times is more than
N-[N/2] but the primary RADIUS server still gives no answer, the NAS will consider
that it has lost the communication with the current RADIUS server and then turn
to transmit the request to another RADIUS server.
