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.
