2.3.7 Set Maximum Times of Real-time Accounting Request Failing to be
Responded
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 for long, it will
consider that there is device failure and stop accounting. Accordingly, it is necessary to
disconnect the user at NAS end and on RADIUS server synchronously when some
unpredictable failure exists. Quidway Series 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.
You can use the following command to set the maximum times of real-time accounting
request failing to be responded
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.

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.
2.3.8 Enable/Disable 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
