Subscriber AAA Accounting Messages
Accounting messages identify service provisions and use on a per-user or per-tunnel basis. These messages keep track of when a particular service is initiated and terminated for a specific user.
JUNOSe software supports the Acct-On message on startup or configuration of the first accounting server. Acct-Off messages are supported when the last RADIUS accounting server in a virtual router is removed, when the router is shut down, and when a virtual router that has configured RADIUS accounting servers is deleted.
The router supports the following types of accounting messages:
Supported RADIUS IETF Attributes
Table 36 lists the RADIUS IETF attributes supported for Acct-Start, Acct-Stop, Interim-Acct, Acct-On, and Acct-Off messages.
The following notes are referred to in Table 36:
- The attribute is used when terminating a PPP connection at the LNS or the initiating LAC.
- For this attribute to be included, an IP address must be assigned to the subscriber.
- The attribute is not included in Acct-Stop messages that are sent when a user session does not get established in one of the following situations.
- The aaa accounting acct-stop on-access-deny command is enabled and the authentication server sends an Access-Reject (deny) message.
- The aaa accounting acct-stop on-aaa-failure command is enabled and the authentication server issues an Access-Accept message (grant), but the AAA configuration denies access for the user. The aaa accounting acct-stop on-aaa-failure is enabled by default.
- The aaa accounting acct-stop on-aaa-failure command is enabled and the user terminates before AAA receives the authentication response from the authentication server.
- For this attribute to be included, an IPv6 interface ID must be assigned to the subscriber.
- For this attribute to be included, at least one IPv6 prefix must be assigned to the subscriber.
Supported Juniper Networks VSAs
Table 37 lists the Juniper Networks (Vendor ID 4874) VSAs supported for Acct-Start, Acct-Stop, Interim-Acct, Acct-On, and Acct-Off messages.

- The attribute is not included in Acct-Stop messages that are sent when a user session does not get established in one of the following situations.
- The aaa accounting acct-stop on-access-deny command is enabled and the authentication server sends an Access-Reject (deny) message.
- The aaa accounting acct-stop on-aaa-failure command is enabled and the authentication server issues an Access-Accept message (grant), but the AAA configuration denies access for the user. The aaa accounting acct-stop on-aaa-failure is enabled by default.
- The aaa accounting acct-stop on-aaa-failure command is enabled and the user terminates before AAA receives the authentication response from the authentication server.
