Configuring RADIUS Accounting Settings
The NETServer sends frames to the RADIUS accounting server
that enable RADIUS to perform accounting functions. The
RADIUS accounting server uses the same basic protocol as the
RADIUS security server. Both servers may run on the same
host, but you may choose a different host to provide each
function.
The accounting server creates a separate account file for each
NETServer under the following directory. For example:
/usr/adm/radacct/
<NETServer-hostname>
/detail
Note: You configuration may differ depending on your RADIUS
server implementation.
