• Accounting — Accounting is the method for 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 user activity to a
RADIUS security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting record is comprised
of AV pairs and is stored on an access control server. The data can be analyzed for network
management, client billing, and/or auditing. Accounting methods must be defined through
AAA. When AAA accounting is activated for the access point, it’s applied equally to all
interfaces on the access point’s access servers.
To define unique WLAN AAA configurations:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Network.
3. Select AAA Policy to display a high level display of existing AAA policies.
The Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) screen lists existing AAA policies. Any of
these policies can be selected and applied to the access point.
