Adding a RADIUS Accounting Proxy Domain

Overview

Using ConsoleOne*, you can add new domain or modify an existing domain to forward RADIUS proxy accounting requests to a remote RADIUS accounting server.

To Add a RADIUS Accounting Proxy Domain

1. Select a Dial Access System object that you already created.
2. Select Domains.
3. If you have not already done so, add an authentication domain of the desired domain type.
4. Select Modify.
5. In the Forwarding dialog, select the Accounting tab.
6. If you want to store accounting information on the local RADIUS server, select Log at Proxy Server.
7. If you want to forward accounting information to same RADIUS server used for authentication for this domain, select Forward to Domain.
8. If you want to forward accounting information to a RADIUS server other than the one used for authentication for this domain, select Use Alternate Address/Secret and enter the following information:
   • IP address and TCP port number of the primary RADIUS proxy accounting server in Primary Address
   • (Optional) IP address and TCP port number of a secondary RADIUS proxy accounting server in Secondary Address
   • The RADIUS secret (entered twice)
     The secret should be a random string of 20 to 30 alphanumeric characters. The secret protects authentication information sent across the network.
9. Enter a value in Retry Limit for the period (in hours) that accounting packets should be resent (default: 24).
10. Click OK twice.
