bill-server

Function

The bill-server command enables the Router to automatically transfer local bills to a specified bill server.

The undo bill-server command cancels the configuration.

By default, no bill server is configured, so that the device cannot automatically transfer local bills to a bill server.

This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

bill-server ip-address filename file-name [ user-name user-name password cipher cipher-password port ]

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Local bills are stored in the bill pool or CF card. Due to their limited capacities, newly generated bills will not be saved when the local storage space is full. To resolve this issue, run the bill-server command to enable the device to automatically transfer local bills to a bill server. Then, local bills will be deleted from the bill pool or CF card to release storage space.

Both TFTP and SFTP bill transfer modes are supported. The SFTP mode is recommended, because the TFTP mode is insecure.

Precautions

In VS mode, this command is supported only by the admin VS.

To use the SFTP bill transfer mode, you must specify the user-name, password cipher, and port parameters.

Example

# Specify a bill server, with the IP address as 10.10.10.1, file name as billfile, user name as huawei, password as Root@123, and port number as 22.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] local-aaa-server
[~HUAWEI-local-aaa-server] bill-server 10.10.10.1 filename billfile user-name huawei password cipher Root@123 22
