Configuring Interim Accounting for Services and Subscribers

You can enable and disable interim accounting and set intervals between interim accounting messages for services and subscribers. These settings apply to all subscriber sessions and service sessions unless you override these settings for specific services by configuring an accounting interim interval in the value-added service configuration.

Use the following configuration statements to configure interim accounting.

shared sae configuration interim-accounting {
service-interim-accounting;
service-interim-interval service-interim-interval ;
subscriber-interim-accounting;
subscriber-interim-interval subscriber-interim-interval ;
}

To set up interim accounting:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement for interim accounting.
      user@host# edit shared sae configuration interim-accounting
  2. (Optional) Enable service interim accounting.
      [edit shared sae configuration interim-accounting]
      user@host# set service-interim-accounting
  3. Specify the interval between service interim accounting messages.
