and the authenticating RADIUS server to be name, and money for interaction
between the switch and the counting RADIUS. Configure the waiting period for
the switch to resend packets to the RADIUS server to be 5 seconds, that is, if after
5 seconds the RADIUS still has not sent any responses back, the switch will resend
packets. Configure the number of times that a switch resends packets to the
RADIUS server to be 5. Configure the switch to send real-time counting packets to
the RADIUS server every 15 minutes with the domain names removed from the
user name beforehand.
