Operation Manual – Traffic Accounting
H3C S7500 Series Ethernet Switches
Traffic accounting: the process in which the traffic accounting card analyzes and
calculates the traffic obtained from the traffic collection card. Traffic accounting is
performed on the basis of the users' online IP addresses and the traffic groups to
which the accessed networks belong.

Figure 1-1 Implementation process of traffic accounting
The following section details the process of traffic accounting:
1) After a user passes the 802.1x authentication, the user logs in successfully.
2) The authenticator device obtains the online IP address of the user and starts to
measure the traffic of the user.
3) Traffic is generated while the user accesses networks.
4) The traffic collection card sends the user's online traffic to the traffic accounting
card.
5) The traffic accounting card performs traffic statistics based on traffic groups, and
generates traffic statistics, which reflect the accumulative traffic generated since
the user gets online.
6) The traffic accounting card periodically sends traffic statistics to the accounting
server.
7) When the user goes offline, the authenticator device sends the total traffic to the
accounting server.
8) The accounting process is over for this user.

1.2 Configuring Traffic Accounting

1.2.1 Prerequisites

A service card that serves as the traffic accounting card is plugged into the switch.
802.1x is enabled on the switch.
A CAMS server is properly configured.
