Configuring RADIUS accounting
The RADIUS accounting helps the administrator to track the network usage for auditing and
billing purposes.
When you configure RADIUS accounting, at the start of service delivery an
Accounting Start
packet is generated describing the type of service being delivered and the user it is delivered
to. This packet is sent to the RADIUS accounting server, which sends back an acknowledgment
that the packet is received. At the end of the service delivery, the client generates an
Accounting Stop
packet describing the type of service that was delivered and statistics
(optional), such as elapsed time, input and output octets, or input and output packets. It then
sends that data to the RADIUS accounting server, which sends back an acknowledgment that
the packet is received.
