Parameter
minutes: Real-time accounting interval, which is in the range of 3 to 60 minutes and
must be a multiple of 3. By defaults, it is 12 minutes.
Description
Use the timer realtime-accounting command to set the real-time accounting interval.
Use the undo timer realtime-accounting command to restore the default interval.
The setting of real-time accounting interval is necessary for real-time accounting. After
an interval is set, the NAS transmits the accounting information of online users to the
TACACS accounting server periodically.
The setting of real-time accounting interval somewhat depends on the performance of
the NAS and the TACACS server: a shorter interval requires higher device performance.
You are therefore recommended to adopt a longer interval when there are a large
number of users (more than 1000, inclusive). The following table lists the numbers of
users and the recommended intervals.
