Accounting servers

The following commands configure the NETServer’s communi- cations with accounting servers.

RADIUS Accounting

This command specifies the primary (1) and secondary (2) RADIUS accounting servers. RADIUS is an open protocol for network accounting. This allows the NETServer to send ac- counting messages to any one of a number of RADIUS imple- mentations available, including U.S. Robotics’ own RADIUS server. The default for both the primary and secondary account- ing server is 0.0.0.0 (none).

set accounting <1 2> <IP address>

If you omit the primary/secondary parameter <1 2>, the NETServer assumes you are configuring the primary accounting server.

Syslog Accounting

Optional. Enter a value in this field only if the NETServer will support UNIX Syslog network accounting. Type in the name or the IP address of the server that functions as the syslog host.

The default is 0.0.0.0 (no Syslog host). See Appendix E for more information on Syslog accounting. Use the following command:

set loghost <IP address>

The NETServer allows you to send Syslog accounting messages to two different Syslog hosts simultaneously. Type the following command to add the second host:

set 2ndlog <IP address>

Note: The two loghosts are independent of one another. NETServer can send accounting messages to the secondary loghost even if the primary loghost is not defined.
