Setting timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers
The switch uses the following types of timers to control the communication with a RADIUS server:
•
Server response timeout timer (response-timeout)
—Defines the RADIUS request retransmission
interval. After sending a RADIUS request (authentication/authorization or accounting request), the
switch starts this timer. If the switch receives no response from the RADIUS server before this timer
expires, it resends the request.
•
Server quiet timer (quiet)
—Defines the duration to keep an unreachable server in the
blocked
state.
If a server is not reachable, the switch changes the server’s status to
blocked
, starts this timer for the
server, and tries to communicate with another server in the
active
state. After this timer expires, the
switch changes the status of the server back to
active
.
•
Real-time accounting timer (realtime-accounting)
—Defines the interval at which the switch sends
real-time accounting packets to the RADIUS accounting server for online users. To implement real-
time accounting, the switch must periodically send real-time accounting packets to the accounting
server for online users.
