Retry Stop-Accounting (Radius Scheme View) - HP HSR6600 Command Reference Manual

Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
retry-times: Maximum number of accounting attempts, ranging from 1 to 255.
Usage guidelines
A RADIUS server usually checks whether a user is online by using a timeout timer. If it receives no
real-time accounting request for a user in the timeout period from the NAS, it considers that there may be
line or device failures and stops accounting for the user. This may happen when some unexpected failure
occurs. To cooperate with this feature of the RADIUS server, the NAS must keep pace with the server in
disconnecting the user. The maximum number of accounting attempts, together with some other
parameters, enables the NAS to promptly disconnect the user.
The maximum number of accounting attempts, together with some other parameters, controls how the
NAS sends accounting request packets.
Suppose that 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 3 (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 it makes another accounting attempt. If five consecutive accounting attempts fail,
the device cuts the user connection.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of accounting attempts to 10 for RADIUS scheme radius1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] retry realtime-accounting 10
