timer realtime-accounting (RADIUS scheme view)
Syntax
timer realtime-accounting minutes
undo timer realtime-accounting
View

Default level
2: System level
Parameters
minutes: Real-time accounting interval in minutes, zero or a multiple of 3 in the range of 3 to 60.
Description
Use timer realtime-accounting to set the real-time accounting interval.
Use undo timer realtime-accounting to restore the default.
By default, the real-time accounting interval is 12 minutes.
For real-time accounting, a NAS must transmit the accounting information of online users to the RADIUS accounting server periodically. This command sets the interval.
When the real-time accounting interval on the switch is zero, the switch sends online user accounting information to the RADIUS accounting server at the real-time accounting interval configured on the server (if any) or does not send online user accounting information.
Different real-time accounting intervals impose different performance requirements on the NAS and the RADIUS server. A shorter interval helps achieve higher accounting precision but requires higher performance. Use a longer interval when there are a large number of users (1000 or more).
Table 7: Recommended real-time accounting intervals
Number of users | Real-time accounting interval (minutes) |
|---|---|
1 to 99 | 3 |
100 to 499 | 6 |
500 to 999 | 12 |
1000 or more | 15 or longer |
