Definition
Acct-Status-Type
The client device’s current accounting status; possible
statuses include ACCT_START, ACCT_STOP, and
ACCT_UPDATE. The access point sends an
ACCT_START frame to the accounting server when a
client device successfully authenticates on a RADIUS
server through the access point; the access point sends
an ACCT_STOP frame to the server when a client
device disassociates from the access point; and the
access point sends an ACCT_UPDATE frame to the
server periodically while the authenticated client
device is associated to the access point.
Acct-Session-ID
A unique accounting identifier for each connection
activity that is bounded by ACCT_START and
ACCT_STOP. The access point sends this attribute to
the server with all three status types.
User-Name
The username with which the client device’s
authenticated to the network. The access point sends
this attribute to the server with all three status types.
NAS-Port
The port number used for the client device’s
connection. The access point sends this attribute to the
server with all three status types.
Acct-Authentic
The method with which the client device is
authenticated to the network. This value is always 1,
which represents RADIUS authentication. The access
point sends this attribute to the server with all three
status types.
