Remote APs in split-tunnel mode now support RADIUS accounting. If you enable RADIUS accounting in a split-
tunnel Remote AP’s AAA profile, the controller sends a RADIUS accounting start record to the RADIUS server
when a user associates with the remote AP, and sends a stop record when the user logs out or is deleted from
the user database. If interim accounting is enabled, the controller sends updates at regular intervals. Each
interim record includes cumulative user statistics, including received bytes and packets counters.
You can use either the WebUI or CLI to assign a server group for RADIUS accounting.
Using the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Security > Authentication > AAA Profiles page.
2. Select AAA Profile, then the AAA profile instance.
3. (Optional) In the Profile Details pane, select RADIUS Interim Accounting to allow the controller to send
Interim-Update messages with current user statistics to the server at regular intervals. This option is
disabled by default, allowing the controller to send only start and stop messages RADIUS accounting server.
4. In the profile list, scroll down and select the Radius Accounting Server Group for the AAA profile. Select the
server group from the drop-down list.
You can add additional servers to the group or configure server rules.
5. Click Apply.
Using the CLI
(host)(config) #aaa profile <profile>

RADIUS Accounting on Multiple Servers
ArubaOS provides support for the controllers to send RADIUS accounting to multiple RADIUS servers. The
controller notifies all the RADIUS servers to track the status of authenticated users. Accounting messages are
sent to all the servers configured in the server group in a sequential order.
You can enable multiple server account functionality by using the WebUI and CLI:
Using the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Security > Authentication > AAA Profiles page.
2. Select AAA Profile, then select the AAA profile instance.
3. Select Multiple Server Accounting check box.
4. Click Apply.
Using the CLI
To enable RADIUS Accounting on Multiple Servers functionality, use the following CLI:
(host) (config) # aaa profile <profile_name>
