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
