(Optional) Configuring Accounting Packet Merging for Value-added Services

This section describes how to configure accounting packet merging for value-added services to reduce the number of packets sent to a RADIUS accounting server.

Context

When a large number of users go online and each user applies for many value-added services, a large number of accounting packets are generated. The processing capability of a RADIUS accounting server is limited. To prevent the number of accounting packets from exceeding the processing capability of a RADIUS accounting server, the number of accounting packets sent by a device to a RADIUS accounting server must be reduced to relieve the pressure on the RADIUS accounting server.

Procedure

Enable accounting packet merging for value-added services.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run aaa
  The AAA view is displayed.
3. Run domain domain-name
  The domain view is displayed.
4. Run value-added-service accounting-merge edsg { stop | interim interval interval [ hash ] }
  Accounting packet merging is enabled for value-added services.
5. Run commit
  The configuration is committed.
(Optional) Set the maximum length of a post-merging accounting packet for value-added services.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run radius-server group groupname
  The RADIUS server group view is displayed.
3. Run radius-server accounting-merge max-length length
  The maximum length is set for a post-merging accounting packet for value-added services.
4. Run commit
  The configuration is committed.
(Optional) Enable a post-merging accounting packet that fails to be sent for value-added services to enter the accounting packet cache.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run value-added-service accounting-merge cache enable
  A post-merging accounting packet that fails to be sent for value-added services is enabled to enter the accounting packet cache.
3. Run commit
  The configuration is committed.
