set accounting system

Configures WSS Software to send Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages to a specified RADIUS server group.

Syntax set accounting system method1 [method2] [method3] [method4]

method1	At least one of up to four methods that WSS Software uses to process
method2	accounting records. Specify one or more methods in priority order. If the
method3	first method does not succeed, WSS Software tries the second method,
	and so on.
method4
	Note: The local method is not valid for this command.

Defaults By default WSS Software does not send Accounting-On or Accounting-Off messages. Access Enabled.

History Introduced in WSS Software 5.0.

Usage Use this command to configure WSS Software to send an Accounting-On message (Acct- Status-Type = 7) to a RADIUS server when the WSS starts, and an Accounting-Off message (Acct- Status-Type = 8) to the RADIUS server when the WSS is administratively shut down.

When you enable this command, an Accounting-On message is generated and sent to the specified server or server group. Subsequent Accounting-On messages are generated each time the WSS starts. When the WSS is administratively shut down, an Accounting-Off message is generated.

Accounting-Off messages are sent only when the WSS is administratively shut down, not when a critical failure causes the WSS to reset. The WSS does not wait for a RADIUS server to acknowledge the Accounting- Off message; the switch makes one attempt to send the Accounting-Off message, then shuts down.

Examples The following command causes Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages to be sent to RADIUS server group shorebirds:

WSS# set accounting system shorebirds

success: change accepted.
