6.1.5 Configuring WLAN Accounting Settings
Accounting is the method of collecting and sending security server information for billing, auditing, and reporting user
data; such as start and stop times, executed commands (such as PPP), number of packets and number of bytes. Accounting
enables wireless network administrators to track the services users are accessing and the network resources they are
consuming. When accounting is enabled, the network access server reports and logs user activity to a RADIUS security
server in the form of accounting records. The data can be analyzed for network management, client billing, and/or auditing.
Accounting methods must be defined through AAA.
Accounting can be enabled and applied to managed WLANs, to uniquely log accounting events specific to the WLAN.
Accounting logs contain information about the use of remote access services by users. This information is of great
assistance in partitioning local versus remote users and how to best accommodate each. Remote user information can be
archived to a remote location for periodic network and user permission administration.
To configure WLAN accounting settings:
1. Select Configuration > Wireless > Wireless LANs to display a high-level display of the existing WLANs available
to the wireless controller managed network.
2. Select the Add button to create an additional WLAN, or Edit to modify the properties of an existing WLAN.
3. Select Accounting .
