Parameter 
minutes: Real-time accounting interval. It ranges from 3 minutes to 60 minutes and 
must be a multiple of 3. By default, this interval 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 real-time 
accounting interval. 
Note that: 
z  To charge the users in real time, you should set the interval of real-time 
accounting. After the setting, the switch sends the accounting information of 
online users to the RADIUS server at regular intervals. 
z  The setting of the real-time accounting interval depends to some degree on the 
performance of the switch and the RADIUS server. The higher the performance 
of the switch and the RADIUS server is, the shorter the interval can be. You are 
recommended to set the interval as long as possible when the number of users is 
relatively great (ú1000). 
Table 1-6 lists the numbers of users and the 
corresponding recommended intervals.
