minutes: Ranges from 1 to 255 minutes. By default, the primary server must wait 
five minutes before it resumes the active state.

Use the timer quiet command to set the waiting time before the primary server 
resumes the active state.

Use the undo timer quiet command to restore the default configuration.

This command is designed to inhibit the switch from processing user request 
packets for a time when the communication between the switch and the server is 
interrupted. After the switch waits for a time that is equal or greater than the time 
set by this command, it re-attempts to send packets to the server.

Related command: display hwtacac.

# Set the quiet timer for the primary server to ten minutes.

minutes: Real-time accounting interval, which is in the range of 3 to 60 minutes 
and must be a multiple of 3. By defaults, it is 12 minutes.

Use the timer realtime-accounting command to set the real-time accounting 
interval.

Use the undo timer realtime-accounting command to restore the default 
interval.

The setting of real-time accounting interval is necessary for real-time accounting. 
After an interval is set, the NAS transmits the accounting information of online 
users to the TACACS accounting server periodically.

The setting of real-time accounting interval somewhat depends on the 
performance of the NAS and the TACACS server: a shorter interval requires higher 
device performance. You are therefore recommended to adopt a longer interval 
when there are a large number of users (more than 1000, inclusive). The following 
table lists the numbers of users and the recommended intervals.
