The access-speed adjustment system-state radius-proxy active-session threshold command configures the suppression threshold and restoration threshold for the number of active RADIUS proxy sessions.
The undo access-speed adjustment system-state radius-proxy command restores the default configuration.
By default, the suppression threshold is 250 and the restoration threshold is 200 for the number of active RADIUS proxy sessions.
This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

When the BRAS functions as a RADIUS proxy, a proxy session is established on each RADIUS client. Active RADIUS proxy sessions are those for the interaction between the BRAS and RADIUS server. When the BRAS receives the first RADIUS request packet from a RADIUS client and then forwards the packet to the RADIUS server, a RADIUS proxy session is created accordingly. The status of this session is set to active. Once the BRAS completes interaction with the RADIUS server and the final response packet is sent from the RADIUS server to the RADIUS client, the status of the RADIUS proxy session is set to inactive.
Therefore, the larger the number of active sessions, the large the number of RADIUS packets to be processed by the BRAS. This may cause the system to be overloaded, and some RADIUS packets may be discarded.
