Configuring an Accounting Policy
Before an accounting policy can be created, a target log file must be created to collect the
accounting records. The files are stored in system memory on the compact flash drive in a
compressed (tar) XML format and can be retrieved using FTP or SCP. See Configuring an
Event Log on page 221 and Configuring a File ID on page 222.
Accounting policies must be configured in the
config>log context before they can be
applied to a SAP or service interface. For information on associating an accounting policy
with a SAP, see the 7705 SAR OS Services Guide.
An accounting policy must define a record type and collection interval. Only one record type
can be configured per accounting policy.
When creating accounting policies, one service accounting policy can be defined as default.
If statistics collection is enabled on a SAP and no accounting policy is applied, then the
respective default policy is used. If no default policy is defined, then no statistics are
collected unless a specifically defined accounting policy is applied.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure an accounting policy:
CLI Syntax: config>log>
accounting-policy acct-policy-id interval minutes
description description-string
default
record record-name
to file log-file-id
no shutdown
The following displays an example of the accounting policy configuration command syntax:
Example: config>log# accounting-policy 4
config>log>acct-policy# description "This is the default
accounting policy."
config>log>acct-policy# record service-ingress-packets
config>log>acct-policy# default
