Configuring WLAN Accounting Settings
Accounting is the method of collecting and sending security server information for billing, auditing,
and reporting user data; such as start and stop times, executed commands (such as PPP), number
of packets and number of bytes. Accounting enables wireless network administrators to track the
services users are accessing and the network resources they are consuming. When accounting is
enabled, the network access server reports and logs user activity to a RADIUS security server in the
form of accounting records. The data can be analyzed for network management, client billing,
and/or auditing. Accounting methods must be defined through AAA.
Accounting can be enabled and applied to managed WLANs, to uniquely log accounting events
specific to the WLAN. Accounting logs contain information about the use of remote access services
by users. This information is of great assistance in partitioning local versus remote users and how
to best accommodate each. Remote user information can be archived to a remote location for
periodic network and user permission administration.

Select Wireless.
