The super user has access to all menus. The usr user is shown a menu, upon sucessful login, with the items
chosen in the user’s profile. The pppauto user is connected directly to the user via PPP. No menu appears. The
auto user is connected via telnet directly to the host specified as host 1 in the user profile. If an automatic login
name is indicated when the auto user is configured, the user is logged in to the remote host directly (though a
password may be necessary, depending on the remote host configuration).
IP Accounting
IP Accounting is used to count the total number of packets allowed (or not) to pass through an interface. Statistics
are given for packets that meet the criterions defined in a rule. (Traffic Rules are not supported). To see all
packets, a special rule list permitting everything can be defined. Rules are described in chapter 14.
Two versions of the IP account table are available for viewing. The result of INFO =>SHOW ACCOUNT TABLE
=>SUMMARY is shown below for four filter rules.

Detailed information can be accessed via SNMP.
To use IP Accounting, two parameters must be set. When a rule is created, the parameter CONFIG =>RULES
LIST =>IP =>CONFIGURE RULES =>ADD RULE =>ALLOW ACCOUNT PROCESS must be
Yes. Additionally,
when applying a rule to an interface, the parameter CONFIG =>INTERFACE =>ETHERNET =>NETWORK
PROTOCOL =>IP =>DETAILED INCOMING /OUTGOING IP ACCOUNTING must also be Enabled.
