RADIUS accounting
RADIUS accounting works as follows.
-
One of the following events occurs on the
Ruckus device:
- A user logs into the management interface using Telnet or SSH
- A user enters a command for which accounting has been configured
- A system event occurs, such as a reboot or reloading of the configuration file
- The Ruckus device checks its configuration to see if the event is one for which RADIUS accounting is required.
- If the event requires RADIUS accounting, the Ruckus device sends a RADIUS Accounting Start packet to the RADIUS accounting server, containing information about the event.
- The RADIUS accounting server acknowledges the Accounting Start packet.
- The RADIUS accounting server records information about the event.
- When the event is concluded, the Ruckus device sends an Accounting Stop packet to the RADIUS accounting server.
- The RADIUS accounting server acknowledges the Accounting Stop packet.
