Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Point Software Configuration Guide
5-18
Minimum delay time to report stop (sec.)—Enter the number of seconds the
access point waits before sending a stop report to the server when a client
device disassociates from the access point. The delay reduces accounting
activity for client devices that disassociate from the access point and then
quickly reassociate.
Server Name/IP—Enter the name or IP address of the server to which the
access point sends accounting data.
Server Type—Select the server type from the pull-down menu. RADIUS is
the only menu option; additional types will be added in future software
releases.
Port—The communication port setting used by the access point and the
server. The default setting, 1813, is the correct setting for Cisco Aironet
access points and Cisco secure ACS.
Timeout (sec.)—Enter the number of seconds the access point should wait
before giving up contacting the server. If the server does not respond within
this time, the access point tries to contact the next accounting server in the list
if one is specified. The access point uses backup servers in list order when the
previous server times out.
Enable Update—Click the Enable Update checkbox to enable accounting
update messages for wireless clients. With updates enabled, the access point
sends an accounting start message when a wireless client associates to the
access point, sends updates at regular intervals while the wireless client is
associated to the access point, and sends an accounting stop message when
the client disassociates from the access point. With updates disabled, the
access point sends only accounting start and accounting stop messages to the
server.
Update Delay—Enter the update interval in seconds. If you use 360, the
default setting, the access point sends an accounting update message for each
associated client device every 6 minutes.
Use accounting server for—Select the authentication types for which you
want to collect accounting data. When you select EAP authentication, the
access point sends accounting data to the server for client devices that
authenticate using Cisco Aironet LEAP, EAP-TLS, or EAP-MD5. When you
select non-EAP authentication, the access point sends data to the server for
client devices using authentication types other than EAP, such as open, shared
key, or MAC-based authentication.
