Parameter Description
â– For standard RADIUS Attributes (i.e., 'RADIUS Attribute Type'
parameter configured to Standard), the value must be a "known"
RADIUS ID (per RFC for RADIUS). However, if you configure the
ID to 0 (default) for any of the RADIUS Attributes (configured in the
'Column Type' parameter) listed below and then apply your rule
(Click Apply), the device automatically replaces the value with the
RADIUS Attribute's ID according to the RFC:
✔ Destination Username: 30
✔ Source Username: 31
✔ Accounting Status Type: 40
✔ Local Input Octets: 42
✔ Local Output Octets: 43
✔ Call Duration: 46
✔ Local Input Packets: 47
✔ Local Output Packets: 48
If you configure the value to 0 and the RADIUS Attribute is not any of
the ones listed above, the configuration is invalid.
Configuring RADIUS Accounting
The device can send accounting data of SIP calls as call detail records (CDR) to a RADIUS
Accounting server. CDR- based accounting messages can be sent upon call release, call
connection and release, or call setup and release. This section lists the CDR attributes for
RADIUS accounting.
The following figure shows the interface between the device and the RADIUS server, based on the
RADIUS Accounting protocol. For each CDR that the device sends to the RADIUS server, it
sends an Accounting-Request Stop with all the CDR attributes. When the RADIUS server
successfully receives all the CDR attributes, it responds with an Accounting-Response Stop ACK
message to the device. If the device does not receive the Accounting-Response ACK message, it
can resend the Accounting-Request Stop with all CDR attributes again, up to a user-defined
number of re-tries (see Configuring RADIUS Packet Retransmission).
There are two types of data that can be sent to the RADIUS server. The first type is the accounting-
related attributes and the second type is the vendor specific attributes (VSA):
â– Standard RADIUS attributes (per RFC): A typical standard RADIUS attribute is shown
below. The RADIUS attribute ID depends on the attribute.
