detect retransmit (dynamic-pool)

Function

The detect retransmit command configures the number of retransmission times and a retransmission interval for detecting address segment availability in a dynamic address pool.

The undo detect retransmit command deletes the number of retransmission times and a retransmission interval configured for detecting address segment availability in a dynamic address pool.

By default, the number of retransmission times is 2, and the retransmission interval is 30 minutes.

This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

Format

detect retransmit retransmit-value interval day hour minute

undo detect [ retransmit [ retransmit-value interval [ day hour minute ] ] ]

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The BRAS sends messages to the RADIUS server at intervals to detect the address segment availability. If an address segment is allowed by the RADIUS server, the RADIUS server responds with a detection success message. If not, the RADIUS server responds with a detection denial message.

If the RADIUS server is unreachable, the BRAS retransmits the detection message to the RADIUS server for a configured number of times. If the RADIUS server is still unreachable, the BRAS sets the address segment to Locked and does not assign addresses in this address segment to subsequent access users. After all users go offline, the BRAS sends a request to the RADIUS server for releasing this address segment. If the BRAS receives a response to the address segment release request, it deletes the address segment. If not, the BRAS deletes the address segment only after the local timer expires.

If an address segment is Locked, the BRAS can still send messages to detect the availability of it. If detection is successful, the BRAS sets the address segment to Unlocked so that the address segment becomes available.

Precautions

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

The retransmission interval must be configured based on the RADIUS server performance.

Example

# Configure the number of retransmission times as 5 and a retransmission interval of 30 minutes for detecting address segment availability in a dynamic address pool.
