Stop-Accounting Buffer
 
Enable or disable buffering stop-accounting requests without responses in the 
device. 
Since stop-accounting requests affect the charge to users, a NAS must make its 
best effort to send every stop-accounting request to the HWTACACS accounting 
servers. For each stop-accounting request getting no response in the specified 
period of time, the NAS buffers and resends the packet until it receives a 
response or the number of transmission retries reaches the configured limit. In 
the latter case, the NAS discards the packet. 
 
Stop-Accounting Packet 
Retransmission Times
 
The maximum number of stop-accounting packet transmission attempts if no 
response is received for the stop-accounting packet. 
If stop-accounting buffer is disabled, this value is ineffective.  
If you leave this field blank, the number of retransmission times is restored to the 
default value.
 
Response Timeout Interval
 
Set the HWTACACS server response timeout time.  
If no response is received from the server within the timeout interval, it may lead 
to disconnection from the HWTACACS server. 
If you leave this field blank, the response timeout period is restored to the default 
value.  
 IMPORTANT: 
As HWTACACS is based on TCP, the timeout of the server response timeout timer 
and/or the TCP timeout timer will cause the NAS to be disconnected from the 
HWTACACS server.  
Quiet Interval
 
Specify the interval the primary server has to wait before being active. 
If you leave this field blank, the quiet interval is restored to the default value. 
 
Username Format
 
Set the format of the username sent to the HWTACACS server. 
A username is generally in the format of userid@isp-name, of which isp-name is 
used by the device to determine the ISP domain to which the user belongs. If an 
HWTACACS server does not accept a username including an ISP domain 
name, you can configure the device to remove the domain name before sending 
it to the HWTACACS server.  
Options include: 
•  without-domain—Specifies to remove the domain name of a username that is 
to be sent to the RADIUS server. 
•  with-domain—Specifies to keep the domain name of a username that is to be 
sent to the RADIUS server. 
Unit of Data Flows
 
Specify the unit for data flows sent to the HWTACACS server for traffic 
accounting. Options include: 
•  byte. 
•  kilo-byte. 
•  mega-byte. 
•  giga-byte. 
If you leave the box blank, the default unit is used.
