Setting Timers
Regarding TACACS
Server
Setting the response timeout timer
Since HWTACACS is implemented based on 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 five seconds.
Setting the quiet timer for the primary TACACS server
Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.
By default, the primary TACACS server must wait five minutes before it can
resume the active state.
Setting a realtime accounting interval
The setting of real-time accounting interval is indispensable to real-time
accounting. After an interval value is set, the NAS transmits the accounting
information of online users to the RADIUS accounting server at intervals of this
value.
Perform the following configuration in HWTACACS view.
