Setting the Unit of Data
Flows Destined for the
TACACS Server
Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.
The default data flow unit is byte.
Setting Timers
Regarding TACACS
Server
Setting the response timeout timer
Since HWTACACS is implemented on the basis of TCP, server response timeout or
TCP timeout may terminate the connection to the TACACS server.
Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.
The default response timeout timer is set to 5 seconds.
Setting the quiet timer for the primary TACACS server
Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.
The timer quiet command is used to make the switch ignore users’ requests for
server within the time configured in this command in case the communication
between the switch and the server is terminated. In that case, the switch can send
users’ requests to the server only after it has waited a time no less than the time
configured with this command for the communication to be resumed.
By default, the primary TACACS server must wait five minutes before it can
resume the active state. The time ranges from 1 to 255.
Setting a realtime accounting interval
The setting of real-time accounting interval is necessary to real-time accounting.
After an interval value is set, the NAS transmits the accounting information of
online users to the TACACS accounting server periodically.
Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.
