Nortel Networks 5500 series - Manual (Page 111)

Configuring the domain 111
When the user session terminates, the Nortel SNAS sends an accounting
request stop packet to the accounting server. The stop packet contains the
following information:
• session ID
•
session time
•
cause of termination
Configure the RADIUS server in accordance with the recommendations in
RFC 2866.
Certain Nortel SNAS -specific attributes are sent to the RADIUS server
when you enable accounting (see
“Configuring Nortel SNAS -specific
attributes” (page 114) ). In conjunction with custom plugins on RADIUS,
these attributes can be used for more detailed monitoring of Nortel SNAS
activity.
When you add an external RADIUS accounting server to the configuration,
the server is automatically assigned an index number. Nortel SNAS
accounting will be performed by an available server with the lowest index
number. You can control accounting server usage by reassigning index
numbers (see
“Managing RADIUS accounting servers” (page 112) ).
To configure the Nortel SNAS to support RADIUS accounting, use the
following command:
/cfg/domain #/aaa/radacct
The Radius Accounting menu appears.
The Radius Accounting menu includes the following options:
