Is it possible to schedule "Clear aaa radius-server cache"?

[fstorer]

Hello,

We have an access point working as Radius server (AP250, HiveOS 8.2r4). It works fine until the cache receives its limit of 512. Is there a way to schedule the clearing of the cache every day (or, even better, every few hours)? We are having a lot of connection issues and at the moment the only way to solve this is clearing the cache manually every morning. I hope you can help!

Yes that would cause the cache to clear more frequently, so that should reduce the number of alerts you're getting about the cache filling up.

Hi @Sam Pirok​ ,

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if reducing the lifetime of the cache (the default is 86400 seconds, which means 24 hours) can help that. Do you think I can improve the "clearing" if I set the maximum lifetime to 3600 seconds (1 hour)?

Thank you for your patience, I was able to confirm that we are only able to schedule one reboot at a time, so you would have to reset that each day.

To address the problem of the logs filling up so quickly, that indicates that your Radius set up is too large to be properly handled by an AP and we would recommend setting up an external user database (active directory or LDAP) that we can link the APs to. That would eliminate the need to constantly manually clear the cache.

I believe you'd have to set it again, but let me check for you and I'll let you know what I find.
