■ RADIUS view
Description RADIUS server usually checks whether a user is online using a 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. 3Com-3Com 3Com Series Routers 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.
Suppose the response timeout timer of the RADIUS server is T and the real-time
accounting interval of NAS is t. Set T to 3, t to 12, and the maximum number of
real-time request retries to 5. With these values being configured, the NAS generates
an accounting request every 12 minutes, and retries if no response is received within
3 minutes. If no response is received after five attempts, the NAS assumes that this
accounting fails. Normally, the result of retry-times multiple by T is smaller than t.
