Description
Enable interim accounting updates and configure the amount of time that the router or switch waits before sending a new accounting update.
Interim accounting updates are included in the exchange of messages between the client and the accounting server. In RADIUS accounting, the client is the network access server (NAS), which can be the router or switch. The NAS sends Accounting-Request messages to the server, which acknowledges receipt of the requests with Accounting-Response messages. Interim accounting updates are sent in Accounting-Request packets with the Acct-Status-Type attribute set to Interim-Update.
When a user is authenticated, the authentication server issues an Access-Accept message in
response to a successful Access-Request message. The interval
between interim updates can be configured directly on the server
using the Acct-Interim-Interval attribute of the Access-Accept
message. However, if the update interval is configured on the NAS
using update-interval, then the system prefers the
attributes returned by RADIUS and overrides the locally configured
values.
All information in an interim update message is cumulative from the beginning of the session, not from the last interim update message.
Default
No interim updates are sent from the client to the accounting server.
Options
