RADIUS Accounting and ANI/DNIS

Release 3.1 of the NETServer supports the current RADIUS Accounting Internet Draft. The NETServer can generate appropriate Code 4 Accounting-Request and Code 5 Accounting-Response messages for properly configured RADIUS servers.

The NETServer’s RADIUS implementation also supports ANI and DNIS services.

ICMP Message Logging

If your system uses syslog network accounting, you can configure the NETServer to send ICMP error messages to the syslog server.

Multiple Name Servers

Release 3.1 of the NETServer supports up to two name servers. The first is a primary name server, and the second is a backup server that is used when the primary name server is unavailable.

Note: The NETServer does not support more than one name service at a time (DNS and NIS cannot both be running).

Randomized Hosts

You can now relieve the burden on frequently-used global default, port default and RADIUS user table hosts, by randomizing the selection of the host chosen for user sessions. When this feature is enabled, a preferred host will be randomly chosen from among the default and alternate hosts defined rather than always preferring the default host.
