Proxim AP-2000 manual Radius Accounting, Session Length

Performing Advanced Configuration

RADIUS Accounting

Using an external RADIUS server, the AP can track and record the length of client sessions on the access point by sending RADIUS accounting messages per RFC2866. When a wireless client is successfully authenticated, RADIUS accounting is initiated by sending an “Accounting Start” request to the RADIUS server. When the wireless client session ends, an “Accounting Stop” request is sent to the RADIUS server.

Session Length

Accounting sessions continue when a client reauthenticates to the same AP. Sessions are terminated when:

•A client disassociates.

•A client does not transmit any data to the AP for a fixed amount of time.

•A client is detected on a different interface.

If the client roams from one AP to another, one session is terminated and a new session is begun.

NOTE

This feature requires RADIUS authentication using MAC Access Control or 802.1x. Wireless clients configured in the Access Point’s static MAC Access Control list are not tracked.
