When doing the portal
authentication function you will often see configuration guidance with idle-cut
values that are recommended to be configured. For example:
[AC-V7-isp-1]authorization-attribute idle-cut 10 10240 What do the 10 and 10240
in it mean? How are these two values configured?
The two parameters of the idle
cut represent one unit of time (minutes), i.e. the idle cut time for a given
user, and one unit of traffic (bytes), i.e. the amount of data traffic
generated during the idle cut time. The traffic parameter is symbolic and
represents the small amount of traffic that any terminal can generate to prove
that the terminal is still alive. For example, 10240 bytes is about 1KB. When
the time parameter is configured, in order to avoid the trouble of having to
re-authenticate when the user leaves for a while, and to avoid the situation
where some users cannot be authenticated because of the DHCP timeout, it is
recommended to configure it at 1/3 of the DHCP lease in the current network.
