accounting
wlan-mode commands
Defines the WLAN’s accounting configuration
Accounting is the method of collecting user data, such as start and stop times, executed
commands (for example, PPP), number of packets and number of bytes received and transmitted.
This data is sent to the security server for billing, auditing, and reporting purposes. Accounting
enables wireless network administrators to track the services and network resources accessed
and consumed by users. When enabled, this feature allows the network access server to report
and log user activity to a RADIUS security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting
record is comprised of AV pairs and is stored on the access control server. The data can be
analyzed for network management, client billing, and/or auditing. Accounting methods must be
defined through AAA policies.
Accounting can be enabled and applied to access point, wireless controller, or service platform
managed WLANs. Once enabled, it uniquely logs accounting events specific to the managed WLAN.
Accounting logs contain information about the use of remote access services by users. This
information is of great assistance in partitioning local versus remote users and how to best
accommodate each. Remote user information can be archived to a location outside of the access
point for periodic network and user permission administration.
