How to calculate the value of retry-times? Suppose that RADIUS server connection will
timeout in T and the real-time accounting interval of NAS is t, then the integer part of the
result from dividing T by t is the value of count. Therefore, when applied, T is suggested
the numbers which can be divided exactly by t.
By default, the real-time accounting request can fail to be responded no more than 5
times.
III. Enabling/Disabling the Stopping Accounting Request Buffer
Because the stopping accounting request concerns account balance and will affect the
amount of charge, which is very important for both the subscribers and the ISP, NAS
shall make its best effort to send the message to RADIUS accounting server.
Accordingly, if the message from Quidway Series Ethernet Switches to RADIUS
accounting server has not been responded, switch shall save it in the local buffer and
retransmit it until the server responds or discards the messages after transmitting for
specified times. The following command can be used for setting to save the message or
not.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 2-20 Enabling/disabling the stopping accounting request buffer
Operation Command
Enable stopping accounting request buffer
stop-accounting-buffer
enable
Disable stopping accounting request buffer
undo stop-accounting-buffer
enable
By default, the stopping accounting request will be saved in the buffer.
IV. Setting the Maximum Retransmitting Times of Stopping Accounting
Request
Use the command to set the maximum retransmission times.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS scheme view.
Table 2-21 Setting the maximum retransmitting times of stopping accounting request
Operation Command
Set the maximum retransmitting times of
stopping accounting request
retry stop-accounting
retry-times
Restore the maximum retransmitting times of
stopping accounting request to the default value
undo retry stop-accounting
By default, the stopping accounting request can be retransmitted for up to 500 times.
