Configuring Destination-Sensitive Accounting

Retrieving Accounting Statistics

Accounting statistics are used to bill your customers. Destination-sensitive accounting
gives you the flexibility to bill your customers at predetermined and different rates. For
a given set of counts, the source VLAN ID identifies the customer and the accounting
bin number corresponds to a billing rate. You need to retrieve the destination-sensitive
accounting 64-bit counts of the number of packets and the number of bytes forwarded
to the accounting bin. The following sections describe how to retrieve the accounting
statistics using the command line interface (CLI) or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).

Using the CLI to Retrieve Accounting Statistics

You can display the accounting statistics for a single VLAN or all VLANs by issuing the
show accounting <vlan>
the packet and octet counts for each bin number per VLAN. Omitting the VLAN name
displays the accounting statistics for all the VLANs.

Using SNMP to Retrieve Accounting Statistics

Any network manager running SNMP can retrieve accounting statistics provided the
management information base (MIB) is installed correctly on the management station.
Each network manager provides its own user interface to the management facilities.
With support for the CISCO-BGP-POLICY-ACCOUNTING-MIB, you can retrieve
accounting statistics using SNMP.
For information about the CISCO-BGP-POLICY-ACCOUNTING-MIB, follow these
steps:
1 Go to http://www.cisco.com/public/mibs.
2 Select
SNMP v2 MIBs
3 Select
CISCO-BGP-POLICY-ACCOUNTING-MIB.my
In this MIB, the accounting statistics are indexed using the following commands:
• interface index (
ifIndex
• traffic index (
cbpAcctTrafficIndex
To map a VLAN ID to an interface index, use the interface index of the router interface
on the VLAN. The accounting bin number corresponds directly to the traffic index.
