Setting HWTACACS timers
The device uses the following timers to control communication with an HWTACACS server:
• Server response timeout timer (response-timeout)—Defines the HWTACACS request
retransmission interval. The timer starts immediately after an HWTACACS authentication,
authorization, or accounting request is sent. If the device does not receive a response from the
server before the 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 device changes the server's status to blocked, starts this timer for the
server, and tries to communicate with another server in active state. After the server quiet timer
expires, the device changes the status of the server back to active.
Real-time accounting timer (realtime-accounting)—Defines the interval for the device to send
•
real-time accounting updates to the HWTACACS accounting server for online users. To implement
real-time accounting, the device must periodically send real-time accounting packets for online
users to the accounting server.
To set HWTACACS timers:

4. Set the server quiet timer.
5. Set the real-time accounting
interval.
Displaying and maintaining HWTACACS

Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, the HWTACACS server
response timeout timer is 5
seconds.
This command is not supported in
this software version and is
reserved for future support.
By default, the server quiet timer is
5 minutes.
By default, the real-time accounting
interval is 12 minutes.
Consider the performance of the
NAS and the HWTACACS server
when you set the real-time
accounting interval. A short
interval helps improve accounting
precision but requires many system
resources.
