Setting timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers
When communicating with a RADIUS server, the device uses the following three timers:
z RADIUS server response timeout timer (response-timeout): Defines the RADIUS request
retransmission interval. After sending a RADIUS request (authentication/authorization or
accounting request), the device starts this timer. If the device receives no response from the
RADIUS server before this timer expires, it resends the request.
z Primary server quiet timer (quiet): If the primary server is not reachable, its state changes to
blocked, and the device will turn to the specified secondary server. If the secondary server is
reachable, the device starts this timer and communicates with the secondary server. After this
timer expires, the device turns the state of the primary server to active and tries to communicate
with the primary server while keeping the state of the secondary server unchanged. If the primary
server has come back into operation, the device interacts with the primary server and terminates
its communication with the secondary server.
z Real-time accounting timer (realtime-accounting): Defines the interval at which the device sends
real-time accounting packets to the RADIUS server for online users.
Follow these steps to set timers for controlling communication with RADIUS servers:
