HiPath Wireless Controller accounting creates Call Data Records (CDRs) in a
standard format of authenticated user sessions, such as start time and duration
of session. The CDRs are stored in flat files that can be downloaded via the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
If RADIUS accounting is enabled, a RADIUS accounting server needs to be
specified.
To define accounting methods for a VNS:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual
Network Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to define
accounting methods for. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. Click the Auth & Acct tab.
4. To enable HiPath Wireless Controller accounting, select Collect Accounting
Information of Wireless Controller.
5. From the RADIUS drop-down list, click the server you want to use for
RADIUS accounting, and then click Use. The server’s default information is
displayed and a red asterisk is displayed next to Acct, indicating that a server
has been assigned.
The RADIUS servers are defined on the Global Settings page. For more
information, see Section 5.8, “VNS global settings”, on page 157.
6. Select Use server for RADIUS Accounting.
7. In the Port box, type the port used to access the RADIUS server. The default
is 1812.
8. In the # of Retries box, type the number of times the HiPath Wireless
Controller will attempt to access the RADIUS server.
9. In the Timeout box, type the maximum time that a HiPath Wireless Controller
will wait for a response from the RADIUS server before attempting again.
10. In the Interim Interval box, type the time interval when accounting records
are sent. Interim accounting records are sent if the interim time interval is
reached before the session ends. The default is 60 minutes.
11. To save your changes, click Save.
