Configuring Accounting Update through AAA
To activate the AAA accounting update function for AAA to send the temporary accounting record to all users
in the system, run the following command: You can run the following command in global configuration mode
to start the configuration:
Command Purpose
aaa accounting update
[
newinfo
]
[
periodic
number]
Enables AAA accounting update.
If the newinfo keyword is used, the temporary accounting record will be sent to the accounting server when
there is new accounting information to be reported. For example, after IPCP negotiates with the IP address of
the remote terminal, the temporary accounting record, including the IP address of the remote terminal, will be
sent to the accounting server.
When the periodic keyword is used, the temporary accounting record will be sent periodically. The period is
defined by the number parameter. The temporary accounting record includes all accounting information
occurred before the accounting record is sent.
The two keywords are contradictable, that is, the previously-configured parameter will replace the latter-
configured one. For example, if aaa accounting update periodic and then aaa accounting update new info are
configured, all currently-registered users will generate temporary accounting records periodically. All new users
have accounting records generated according to the new info algorithm.
