Configuring periodic accounting update records

If you have configured WSS Software to use start-stop mode, by default accounting update records are generated when
a user roams from one AP to another. Optionally, WSS Software can generate update records at specified periodic inter-
vals. This can be done in one of the following ways:
By specifying a value for the acct-interim-interval attribute on the RADIUS server. If the RADIUS server’s
access-accept response contains this attribute, then WSS Software generates update records for the user’s session at
the specified interval.
By specifying a value for the acct-interim-interval attribute for the user on the WSS. See the description of the
acct-interim-interval attribute in Table 38: “Authentication attributes for local users” on page 595.
If both the RADIUS server and the WSS supply a value for the user’s acct-interim-interval attribute, then the value from
the WSS takes precedence.
If there is no acct-interim-interval attribute value set, or it is set to zero on the WSS, then accounting update records are
generated only when a user roams from one AP to another.
