RADIUS accounting permits statistical data about users logging onto or off a LAN to be collected
and sent to a RADIUS accounting server.The statistical data gathered can be used for general
network monitoring, to analyze and track usage patterns, or to bill a user based upon the
amount of time or type of services accessed.
To configure basic RADIUS accounting using the CLI:
- Specify the accounting servers to which the switch will
forward accounting statistics:
[edit access ]
user@router# set profile profile1 radius accounting-server [122.69.1.250 122.69.1.252]
- Define the RADIUS accounting servers:
[edit access]
user@router# set radius-server 122.69.1.250 secret juniper
user@router# set radius-server 122.69.1.252 secret juniper1
- Enable accounting for an access profile:
[edit access]
user@router# set profile profile1 accounting
- Configure the RADIUS servers to use while sending accounting
messages and updates:
[edit access]
user@router# set profile profile1 accounting order radius
- Configure the statistics to be collected on the router
and forwarded to the accounting server:
[edit access ]
user@router# set profile profile1 accounting accounting-stop-on-access-deny
user@router# set profile profile1 accounting accounting-stop-on-failure
- Display accounting statistics collected on the router:
user@router> show network-access aaa statistics accounting

- Open an accounting log on the RADIUS accounting server
using the server's address, and view accounting statistics:
