radius-server accounting

Function

The radius-server accounting command configures the RADIUS accounting server.

The undo radius-server accounting command deletes the configuration.

By default, no RADIUS accounting server is configured.

Format

radius-server accounting ipv4-address port [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | source { loopback interface-number | ip-address ipv4-address | vlanif interface-number } | weight weight-value ] ^*

radius-server accounting ipv6-address port [ source { loopback interface-number | ip-address ipv6-address | vlanif interface-number } | weight weight-value ] ^*

undo radius-server accounting [ ipv4-address [ port [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | source { loopback interface-number | ip-address ipv4-address | vlanif interface-number } | weight ] ^* ] ]

undo radius-server accounting [ ipv6-address [ port [ source { loopback interface-number | ip-address ipv6-address | vlanif interface-number } | weight ] ] ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ipv4-address	Specifies the IPv4 address of a RADIUS accounting server.	The value is a valid unicast address in dotted decimal notation.
ipv6-address	Specifies the IPv6 address of a RADIUS accounting server.	The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.
port	Specifies the port number of a RADIUS accounting server.	The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 65535.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name	Specifies the name of a VPN instance that the RADIUS accounting server is bound to.	The value must be an existing VPN instance name.
source loopback interface-number	Specifies the number of a loopback interface.	The loopback interface must already exist.
source ip-address ipv4-address	Specifies the source IPv4 address in RADIUS packets sent from the device to a RADIUS accounting server. If this parameter is specified, ensure that the value of this parameter is the same as the client's IPv4 address specified on the RADIUS accounting server. If this parameter is not specified, the IPv4 address of the outbound interface is used as the source IPv4 address in RADIUS packets sent from the device to a RADIUS accounting server.	The value is a valid unicast address in dotted decimal notation.
source ip-address ipv6-address	Specifies the source IPv6 address in RADIUS packets sent from the device to a RADIUS accounting server. If this parameter is not specified, the IPv6 address of the outbound interface is used as the source IPv6 address in RADIUS packets sent from the device to a RADIUS accounting server. This address cannot be a virtual IPv6 address of a VRRP6 group.	The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.
source vlanif interface-number	Specifies the IP address of a VLANIF interface as the source IP address. interface-number specifies the number of a VLANIF interface.	The VLANIF interface must exist.
weight weight-value	Specifies the weight of a RADIUS accounting server. When multiple servers are available, the device uses the server with the highest weight to perform accounting. If the servers have the same weights, the device uses the server configured first to perform accounting.	The value is an integer that ranges from 0 to 100.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To perform accounting for users, configure a RADIUS accounting server. The device communicates with a RADIUS accounting server to obtain accounting information, and performs accounting for users based on the accounting information. The device sends accounting packets to the RADIUS accounting server only after the IP address and port number of the RADIUS accounting server are specified in the RADIUS server template.

Precautions

The IP address of the primary accounting server must be different from the IP address of the secondary accounting server; otherwise, the configuration fails.
If an interface connecting the device to a server has multiple IP addresses configured and can communicate with the server only through some of these IP addresses, one IP address among these reachable IP addresses needs to be specified as the source IP address based on the routing table to ensure that the device can communicate with the server.
