RADIUS Protocol Configuration Commands 387RADIUS server has been disconnected and it will transmit request packet to otherRADIUS servers.Setting a suitable retry-time according to the network situation can speed up thesystem response.Related command: radius schemeExampleTo set to retransmit the RADIUS request packet no more than 5 times via the server3Com in the RADIUS scheme, enter the following:system-viewSystem View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.[SW5500]radius scheme 3Com[SW5500-radius-3Com]retry 5retryrealtime-accountingSyntaxretry realtime-accountingretry-timesundo retry realtime-accountingViewRADIUS Scheme ViewParameterretry-times: Specifies the maximum times of real-time accounting requestfailing to be responded, ranging from 1 to 255. By default, the accounting requestcan fail to be responded up to 5 times.DescriptionUse the retry realtime-accounting command to configure the maximumnumber of retries for real-time accounting requests. Use the undo retryrealtime-accounting command to restore the maximum number of retries forreal-time accounting requests to the default value.RADIUS server usually checks if a user is online with timeout timer. If the RADIUSserver has not received the real-time accounting packet from NAS, it will considerthat there is line or device failure and stop accounting. Therefore, it is necessary todisconnect the user at the NAS end and on the RADIUS server synchronously whenunexpected failure occurs. The Switch 5500G-EI Family supports a maximumnumber of times that real-time accounting requests can fail to be responded to.NAS will disconnect the user if it has not received a real-time accounting responsefrom the RADIUS server for the number of specified times.How is the value of count calculated? Suppose RADIUS server connection willtimeout in T and the real-time accounting interval of NAS is t, then the integerpart of the result from dividing T by t is the value of count. Therefore, whenapplied, T is suggested the numbers which can be divided exactly by t.Related command: radius scheme.
