RADIUS Accounting
Using an external RADIUS server, the AP can track and record the length of client sessions on
the access point by sending RADIUS accounting messages per RFC2866. When a wireless
client is successfully authenticated, RADIUS accounting is initiated by sending an "Accounting
Start" request to the RADIUS server. When the wireless client session ends, an "Accounting
Stop" request is sent to the RADIUS server.
Note:
Each VLAN can be configured to use a separate RADIUS accounting server (and
Note:
backup accounting server).
Session Length
Accounting sessions continue when a client reauthenticates to the same AP. Sessions are
terminated when:
A client disassociates.
•
A client does not transmit any data to the AP for a fixed amount of time.
•
A client is detected on a different interface.
•
If the client roams from one AP to another, one session is terminated and a new session is
begun.
Note:
This feature requires RADIUS authentication using MAC Access Control or

Control list are not tracked.
