Chapter 7 - Accounting

Accounting entails the reporting of network resource usage.

Accounting

The SMS2000 is capable of performing accounting by using an external server (OCS,

RADIUS, or Syslog). For more information on using the OCS for accounting, see the

OCS User’s Guide. For more information on RADIUS, see Chapter 13, “Using SMS2000

with a RADIUS Server.” Scenarios for performing these functions in various

configurations are described below.

Accounting

Table 7-1 shows how accounting is performed with no external server, with RADIUS,

and with the OCS.

Server Functionality

With syslog Only syslog session information is available. This information is sent using

unreliable UDP transport and, depending on network conditions, may not

be delivered in every case. Syslog messages are sent in a similar fashion as

standard RADIUS START and STOP messages

With RADIUS The SMS2000 sends session information with standard START and STOP

records. START records are sent upon authorization. STOP records are

sent when a client is no longer responsive to periodic ARPs sent by the

SMS2000, usually because it is disconnected or shut down.

With OCS The OCS offers enhanced resource accounting.

RADIUS accounting is available with the OCS authentication.

Sending Accounting Messages to a

Syslog Server

Note: This command is ignored if no syslog server has been configured.

To enable and disable transmission of RADIUS-style accounting messages to the

configured syslog server, use this command:

acct syslog {on | off}

For example, to send usage information to the configured syslog server instead of to a

RADIUS server.
