Because RADIUS protocol uses UDP packets to carry the data, its communication
process is not reliable. If the RADIUS server has not responded NAS until timeout, NAS
has to retransmit RADIUS request packet. If it transmits more than the specified
retry-times
, NAS considers the communication with the primary and secondary
RADIUS servers has been disconnected.
Setting a suitable retry-time according to the network situation can speed up the system
response.
For the related command, see
radius scheme
.
Example
# Set to retransmit the RADIUS request packet no more than 5 times for the RADIUS
scheme huawei.
[Quidway-radius-huawei] retry 5
2.2.18 retry realtime-accounting
Syntax
retry realtime-accounting
retry-times
undo retry realtime-accounting
View
RADIUS scheme view
Parameter
retry-times
: Specifies the maximum times of real-time accounting request failing to be
responded, ranging from 1 to 255. By default, the accounting request can fail to be
responded up to 5 times.
Description
Using
retry realtime-accounting
command, you can configure the maximum times of
real-time accounting request failing to be responded. Using
undo retry
realtime-accounting
command, you can restore the maximum times of real-time
accounting request failing to be responded to the default value.
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, it will consider that
there is line or device failure and stop accounting. Accordingly, it is necessary to
disconnect the user at NAS end and on RADIUS server synchronously when some
unexpected failure occurs. Quidway Series Ethernet 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.
