Accounting messages for a VRRS transitioning out of master state are sent after all PPPoE accounting stop
messages for sessions that are part of that VRRS.
AAA Accounting Enhancements
AAA Broadcast Accounting
AAA broadcast accounting allows accounting information to be sent to multiple AAA servers at the same
time; that is, accounting information can be broadcast to one or more AAA servers simultaneously. This
functionality allows service providers to send accounting information to their own private AAA servers and
to the AAA servers of their end customers. It also provides redundant billing information for voice applications.
Broadcasting is allowed among groups of RADIUS or servers, and each server group can define
its backup servers for failover independently of other groups.
Thus, service providers and their end customers can use different protocols (RADIUS or ) for the
accounting server. Service providers and their end customers can also specify their backup servers
independently. As for voice applications, redundant accounting information can be managed independently
through a separate group with its own failover sequence.
AAA Session MIB
The AAA session MIB feature allows customers to monitor and terminate their authenticated client connections
using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The data of the client is presented so that it correlates
directly to the AAA Accounting information reported by either the RADIUS or the server. AAA
session MIB provides the following information:
• Statistics for each AAA function (when used in conjunction with the show radius statistics command)
• Status of servers providing AAA functions
• Identities of external AAA servers
• Real-time information (such as idle times), providing additional criteria for use by SNMP networks for
assessing whether or not to terminate an active call
This command is supported only on Cisco AS5300 and Cisco AS5800 universal access server platforms.
Note
The table below shows the SNMP user-end data objects that can be used to monitor and terminate authenticated
client connections with the AAA session MIB feature.
