BNG | Authentication and Accounting packet retransmits

[Erik DeKegel]

Hi,

What is the recommended timer value for authentication and accounting packets re-transmits and the number of retires and how can I view the preset value from the statistics (command for both) apart from configuration.

Thanks

Erik

hi Erik,

you should see the timeout in the output of "show radius". The default of 5 seconds should hold good for most deployments. Increasing the timeout means more memory on BNG would be used to store the data (in case re-transmission is required).

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:our9001#sh radius

hope this helps,
