226 CHAPTER 9: AAA AND RADIUS OPERATION
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.
By default, the stop accounting request will be saved in the buffer.
Setting the Maximum Retransmitting Times of the Stop Accounting
Request
Because the stop accounting request concerns account balance, and will affect the
amount to charge a customer, which is very important for both the subscribers
and the ISP, NAS will make its best effort to send the message to the RADIUS
accounting server. If the message from the Switch 7750 to RADIUS accounting
server has not replied, the switch saves it in the local buffer and retransmits it until
the server responds or discards the messages. Use this command to set the
maximum retransmission times.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.
By default, the stop accounting request can be retransmitted for up to 500 times.
Setting the Supported Type of RADIUS Server
The Switch 7750 supports the standard RADIUS protocol and the extended
RADIUS service platforms, such as IP Hotel, and Portal.
Perform the following configurations in RADIUS server group view.
By default, the RADIUS server type is standard.
Setting RADIUS Server State
For the primary and secondary servers, if the primary server is disconnected from
NAS because of a fault, NAS will automatically turn to exchange packets with the
secondary server. However, after the primary server recovers, NAS does not resume
communication with the primary server immediately. Instead, it continues
communicating with the secondary server. When the secondary server fails to
