Hi Group!

Is it possible to monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic from a radius
client with the NPS Accounting feature?

Up to now I am only able to log the session starts and session ends from my
cisco WLAN Access Point!

kind regards

Hi Andy --

Network Policy Server (NPS) supports Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service (RADIUS) accounting, which you can use to track network usage for
auditing and billing purposes. Accounting data can also be queried to
assist with network access troubleshooting.

You can find out more about NPS accounting from the NPS Technical
Reference, at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/dd197475(WS.10).aspx

Hi James!

I have now configured the Cisco Access Point as a radius client an enabled
all checkboxes - this would be the log table:

Up to now I do not have any data that represents cumulative upload or
download for billing?

Is this an issue of the radius client or something of the radius clients
(cisco access points)?

kind regards

andy
