Configuring periodic accounting update records

If you have configured WSS Software to use start-stop mode, by default accounting update records are
generated when a user roams from one AP to another. Optionally, WSS Software can generate update records
at specified periodic intervals. This can be done in one of the following ways:
• By specifying a value for the acct-interim-interval attribute on the RADIUS server. If the RADIUS
server's access-accept response contains this attribute, then WSS Software generates update records for
the user's session at the specified interval.
• By specifying a value for the acct-interim-interval attribute for the user on the WSS. See the description
of the acct-interim-interval attribute in
If both the RADIUS server and the WSS supply a value for the user's acct-interim-interval attribute, then the
value from the WSS takes precedence.
If there is no acct-interim-interval attribute value set, or it is set to zero on the WSS, then accounting update
records are generated only when a user roams from one AP to another.
