Sender Message Attribute Value Description
Acct-Output-
Packets
Sum of unicast and
multicast packets that
are sent from a
particular SM over the
regular data VC and
the high priority data
VC (if enabled).
The data accounting configuration is located on the AP’s Accounts => User
Authentication and Access Tracking GUI menu, and the AP’s Authentication Mode
must be set to Radius AAA for the menu to appear. The accounting may be configured via
the AP GUI as shown in the figures below. By default accounting messages are not sent
and the operator has the choice of configuring to send only Device Access accounting
messages (when a user logs in or out of the radio), only Data Usage messages, or both.
When Data Accounting is enabled, the operator must specify the interval of when the data
accounting messages are sent (0 – disabled, or in the range of 30-10080 minutes). The
default interval is 30 minutes.
Figure 70 RADIUS accounting messages configuration
The data accounting message data is based on the SM statistics that the AP maintains, and
these statistics may be cleared on the AP by an operator. If an operator clears these
messages and data accounting is enabled, an accounting stop message is sent followed by
an accounting start message to notify the AAA of the change.
If an operator clears the VC statistics on the device through the management GUI, a
RADIUS stop message and data start message is issued for each device affected. The start
and stop messages will only be sent once every 5 minutes, so if an operator clears these
statistics multiple times within 5 minutes, only one set of data stop/start messages is sent.
This may result in inaccurate data accumulation results.
