40.3.6 Enabling the Selection Of Radius Accounting Option
If no RADIUS server is available or if RADIUS accounting server fails when the
accounting
optional

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
Operation
Command
Set a real-time accounting interval
timer realtime-accounting
minute
Restore the default value of the interval
undo timer realtime-accounting
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.
