Accounting Policy Commands
accounting-policy
Syntax accounting-policy policy-id [interval minutes]
no accounting-policy policy-id
Context config>log
Description This command creates an access or network accounting policy. An accounting policy defines the
accounting records that are created.
Access accounting policies are policies that can be applied to one or more SAPs. Changes made to an
existing policy, using any of the sub-commands, are applied immediately to all SAPs where this
policy is applied.
If an accounting policy is not specified on a SAP, then accounting records are produced in accordance
with the access policy designated as the default. If a default access policy is not specified, then no
accounting records are collected other than the records for the accounting policies that are explicitly
configured.
Only one policy can be regarded as the default access policy. If a policy is configured as the default
policy, then a no default command must be used to allow the data that is currently being collected to
be written before a new access default policy can be configured.
Network accounting policies are policies that can be applied to one or more network ports or
SONET/SDH channels. Any changes made to an existing policy, using any of the sub-commands,
will be applied immediately to all network ports or SONET/SDH channels where this policy is
applied.
If no accounting policy is defined on a network port, accounting records will be produced in
accordance with the default network policy as designated with the default command. If no network
default policy is created, then no accounting records will be collected other than the records for the
accounting policies explicitly configured.
Only one policy can be regarded as the default network policy. If a policy is configured as the default
policy, then a no default command must be used to allow the data that is currently being collected to
be written before a new network default policy can be configured.
The no form of the command deletes the policy from the configuration. The accounting policy cannot
be removed unless it is removed from all the SAPs, network ports or channels where the policy is
applied.
Default
