The parameter minutes specifies the real-time accounting interval in minutes. The
value shall be a multiple of 3.
The value of minutes 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 minutes value to the number
of users.
Table 3-16 Recommended ratio of minutes to number of users
Number of users Real-time accounting interval (minute)
1 to 99 3
100 to 499 6
500 to 999 12
≥1000 ≥15
By default, minute is set to 12 minutes.
3.3.8 Setting Maximum Times of Real-time Accounting Request Failing to
be Responded
RADIUS server usually checks if a user is online with timeout timer. If the RADIUS
server has not received the real-time accounting packet from NAS for long, it will
consider that there is device failure and stop accounting. Accordingly, it is necessary to
disconnect the user at NAS end and on RADIUS server synchronously when some
unpredictable failure exists. Quidway Series Switches support to set maximum times of
real-time accounting request failing to be responded. NAS will disconnect the user if it
has not received real-time accounting response from RADIUS server for some
specified times.
You can use the following command to set the maximum times of real-time accounting
request failing to be responded
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.
