accounting, even if the packet transmission attempt limit and server response timeout period are
configured with small values. In this case, the next authentication or accounting attempt can
succeed because the device has set the status of the unreachable servers to blocked so time for
finding a reachable server is shortened.
• Properly set the server quiet timer. Too short a quiet timer can result in frequent authentication or
accounting failures because the device keeps trying to communicate with an unreachable server
that is in active state.

Configuring RADIUS accounting-on
The accounting-on feature enables the device to send an accounting-on packet to the RADIUS server after
it reboots so the server can log out users who logged in through the device before the reboot. Without this
feature, users who were online before the reboot could not re-log in after the reboot, because the RADIUS
server would consider them already online.
If the device receives no response to the accounting-on packet, it re-sends the packet to the RADIUS server
at a particular interval for a specified number of times.
The accounting-on feature requires the cooperation of the HP IMC network management system.
