How can I retrieve accounting information (ISDN and TCP/IP)?

User’s Guide: Version 1.2
WAN Interfaces
Turn on IP accounting for each IP-capable WAN interface you want the
V!CAS to generate IP accounting messages for.
IP Accounting
on
Add Log Host
Here’s where you add (or change) remote hosts the V!CAS should
send system messages to.
Loghost
<IP address of host>
Level
info
Facility
<syslog facility used by log host>
Type
accounting
If the Log Host is a PC running Windows, then DIMETools must be
installed there. See your BRICKware documentation for info on
DIME Syslog. For UNIX hosts this facility must correspond to the sys-
log facility (local 0 – 9) configured there. See the man pages for sys-
log.conf.
More Info
You don’t have to configure individual Log Hosts to actually see account-
ing messages. If you just want to browse accounting messages you can
begin to see accounting messages accumulate under Setup Tool’s
listing once one or
more interfaces are turned on. Accounting messages are identified by the
ACCT
string under the Subj column.
Note:
Do NOT turn IP accounting on for the LAN interface if you
are using an external Log Host. Since the sending of a mes-
sage requires a UDP connection this must be heeded to
avoid an endless cycle of connections.
