290 CHAPTER 11: USING AAA AND RADIUS COMMANDS
Parameter
minutes: Real-time accounting interval, ranging from 3 to 60, measured in
minutes in multiples of 3. By default, the value is 12.
Description
Use the timer realtime-accounting command to configure the real-time
accounting interval. Use the
undo timer realtime-accounting command to
restore the default interval.
To implement real-time accounting, it is necessary to set a real-time accounting
interval. After the attribute is set, NAS will transmit the accounting information of
online users to the RADIUS server regularly.
The value of minutes is related to the performance of NAS and RADIUS server. The
smaller the value is, the higher the requirement for NAS and RADIUS server is.
When there are a large amount of users (more than 1000, inclusive), we suggest a
larger value. The following table recommends the ratio of
minutes value to
number of users.
Related commands: retry realtime-accounting, radius scheme.
Example
To set the real-time accounting interval of RADIUS scheme, “3Com”, to 15
minutes, enter the following:
<4500>system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
