Setting a suitable retry-time according to the network situation can speed up the 
system response.
Related command: radius scheme.
Example
# Set to retransmit the RADIUS request packet no more than 5 times in the 
RADIUS scheme "3Com".
[3Com-radius-3com] retry 5

Syntax

Parameter
retry-times: Specifies the maximum times of real-time accounting request failing to 
be responded, ranging from 1 to 255. By default, the accounting request can fail 
to be responded up to 5 times.
Description
Use the retry realtime-accounting command to configure the maximum times 
of real-time accounting request failing to be responded.
Use the undo retry realtime-accounting command to restore the maximum 
times of real-time accounting request failing to be responded to the default value.
RADIUS server usually checks if a user is online with timeout timer. If the RADIUS 
server has not received the real-time accounting packet from NAS, it will consider 
that there is line or device failure and stop accounting. Accordingly, it is necessary 
to disconnect the user at NAS end and on RADIUS server synchronously when 
some unexpected failure occurs. 3Com Series Switches support to set maximum 
times of real-time accounting request failing to be responded. NAS will disconnect 
the user if it has not received real-time accounting response from RADIUS server 
for some specified times.
How to calculate the value of count? Suppose RADIUS server connection will 
timeout in T and the real-time accounting interval of NAS is t, then the integer 
part of the result from dividing T by t is the value of count. Therefore, when 
applied, T is suggested the numbers which can be divided exactly by t.

Example
# Allow the real-time accounting request failing to be responded for up to 10 
times.
