To configure a RADIUS-based accounting policy

Steps

Choose Policies→AAA Policies→RADIUS Based Accounting from the NFM-P main menu. The RADIUS Based Accounting Policies form opens.

2 

Click Create or choose a policy and click Properties. The RADIUS Accounting Policy (Create|Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the general policy and RADIUS Attributes parameters.

If you enable the NAS Port ID checkbox, you must configure the Port Prefix Type, Port Prefix String, and Port Suffix Type parameters.

If you enable the NAS Port Type checkbox, you must configure the Port Type parameter.

Configure the required parameters in the Accounting and Interval panels.

Only two accounting modes can be applied in combination. The accounting modes are host accounting, queue instance accounting, and PPPoE session accounting. A subscriber host can have up to two simultaneously active accounting modes. You can configure Host Accounting Message, Queue Instance Accounting, and Session Accounting parameters to non-default values provided that SLA Only is chosen for one parameter, and not more than two accounting modes are combined.

If you configure the Delay Start Time parameter to reduce accounting messages in a dual stack PPP session configuration, you must also configure the Optimize for Session Accounting parameter on the subscriber profile to which the RADIUS accounting policy is applied; see To configure a subscriber profile.
