Attributes Sent to External RADIUS Accounting Server by BSC
The following table describes the attributes that the BSC sends to the external RADIUS
accounting server.
Table 7-1: RADIUS Accounting Attributes Sent from the BSC
Attribute Description
Acct-Authentic The method by which the user is authenticated:
1 = RADIUS
2 = Local
3 = Remote (all other external authentication methods)
Acct-Input-Octets The number of octets received by the client over the wireless network since the client logged
into the BSC. This attribute is only present in Accounting-Request records of the ACCT_STOP
status type.
Acct-Input-Packets The number of packets received by the client over the wireless network since the client
logged into the BSC. This attribute is only present in Accounting-Request records of the
ACCT_STOP status type.
Acct-Output-Octets The number of octets sent by the client over the wireless network since the client logged into
the BSC. This attribute is only present in Accounting-Request records of the ACCT_STOP
status type.
Acct-Output-Packets The number of packets sent by the client over the wireless network since the client logged into
the BSC. This attribute is only present in Accounting-Request records of the ACCT_STOP
status type.
Acct-Session-ID A unique account identifier to expedite matching of accounting records. The account
identifier maps to the connection ID that is stored in the BSC connection table.
This identifier is only unique to a specific NAS-Identifier (see the NAS-Identifier attribute
below).
Acct-Session-Time The elapsed time in seconds that the client is logged in to the BSC. The BSC sends this
attribute only with the ACCT_STOP status type.
Acct-Status-Type The client device's current accounting status. Possible statuses include ACCT_START and
ACCT_STOP.
The BSC sends an ACCT_START frame to the accounting server when a client successfully
authenticates through any supported external authentication server that has been configured
to send accounting statistics to this RADIUS accounting server.
When using a RADIUS or LDAP/Active Directory server for authentication, the BSC sends an
ACCT_STOP frame to the accounting server when a client logs out of the BSC.
When using a Transparent NTLM Windows server for authentication, ACCT_STOP messages
are only sent when the user shuts off their computer. Simply logging out of the domain does
not send an ACCT_STOP message.
Bluesocketap The hostname, or MAC-address if no hostname is given, of the AP the user is on at the time of
the accounting event.
Called-Station-ID MAC address of the BSC Protected Interface
Calling-Station-Id MAC address of the client device.
Framed-IP-Address IP address of the client device.
NAS-Identifier Host name of the BSC protected interface.
NAS-IP-Address IP address of the BSC protected interface.
User-Name User name that the BSC uses to authenticate the user.
