F3215-HP Load Balancing Module Security Command Reference-6PW101

retransmits the RADIUS request. If the number of transmission attempts exceeds the limit but the device
still receives no response from the RADIUS server, the device considers the request a failure.
The maximum number of packet transmission attempts multiplied by the RADIUS server response timeout
period cannot be greater than 75.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of RADIUS request transmission attempts to 5 for RADIUS scheme radius1.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] retry 5

Usage guidelines
A RADIUS server usually checks whether a user is online by using a timeout timer. If it receives no
real-time accounting request for a user in the timeout period from the NAS, it considers that there may be
line or device failures and stops accounting for the user. This may happen when some unexpected failure
occurs. To cooperate with this feature of the RADIUS server, the NAS must keep pace with the server in
disconnecting the user. The maximum number of accounting attempts, together with some other
parameters, enables the NAS to promptly disconnect the user.
The maximum number of accounting attempts, together with some other parameters, controls how the
NAS sends accounting request packets.
Suppose that the RADIUS server response timeout period is 3 seconds (set with the timer
response-timeout command), the maximum number of RADIUS packet transmission attempts is 3 (set
with the retry command), the real-time accounting interval is 12 minutes (set with the timer
realtime-accounting command), and the maximum number of accounting attempts is five (set with the
retry realtime-accounting command). In this case, the device generates an accounting request every 12
