Configuring H.323 Gatekeepers and Proxies

H.323 Gatekeeper Configuration Task List

Configuring User Accounting Activity for RADIUS

After AAA has been enabled and the gateway has been configured to recognize RADIUS as the remote security server providing authentication services, the next step is to configure the gateway to report user activity to the RADIUS server in the form of connection accounting records. To send connection accounting records to the RADIUS server, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router(config)# aaa accounting connection h323

Defines the accounting method list H.323 with

 

{stop-only start-stop wait-start none}

RADIUS as a method.

 

[broadcast] group group-name

The keywords and arguments are as follows:

 

 

 

 

• stop-only—Sends a “stop” accounting notice at

 

 

the end of the requested user process.

 

 

• start-stop—Sends a “start” accounting notice at

 

 

the beginning of a process and a “stop”

 

 

accounting notice at the end of a process. The

 

 

“start” accounting record is sent in the

 

 

background. The requested user process begins

 

 

regardless of whether the “start” accounting

 

 

notice was received by the accounting server.

 

 

• wait-start—Sends a “start” accounting notice at

 

 

the beginning of a process and a “stop”

 

 

accounting notice at the end of a process. The

 

 

“start” accounting record is sent in the

 

 

background. The requested user process does not

 

 

begin until the “start” accounting notice is

 

 

received by the server.

 

 

• none—Disables accounting services on this line

 

 

or interface.

 

 

• broadcast—(Optional) Enables sending

 

 

accounting records to multiple AAA servers.

 

 

Simultaneously sends accounting records to the

 

 

first server in each group. If the first server is

 

 

unavailable, failover occurs using the backup

 

 

servers defined within that group.

 

 

• group group-name—Specifies the server group

 

 

to be used for accounting services. The following

 

 

are valid server group names:

 

 

– string—Specifies the character string used to

 

 

name a server group.

 

 

– radius—Uses list of all RADIUS hosts.

 

 

– tacacs+—Uses list of all TACACS+ hosts.
