40.3.7 Setting a Real-time Accounting Interval

To implement real-time accounting, it is necessary to set a real-time accounting interval.
After the attribute is set, NAS will transmit the accounting information of online users to
the RADIUS server regularly.
You can use the following command to set a real-time accounting interval.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 40-16 Set a real-time accounting interval
Set a real-time accounting interval
Restore the default value of the interval
minute specifies the real-time accounting interval in minutes. The value shall be a
multiple of 3.
The value of minute is related to the performance of NAS and RADIUS server. The
smaller the value is, the higher the performances of NAS and RADIUS are required.
When there are a large amount of users (more than 1000, inclusive), we suggest a
larger value. The following table recommends the ratio of minute value to the number of
users.
