Update Packets In Accounting Logs
Whenever you configure Cisco Secure ACS to record accounting data for user
sessions, Cisco Secure ACS records start and stop packets. If you want, you can
configure Cisco Secure ACS to record update packets, too. In addition to
providing interim accounting information during a user session, update packets
drive password expiry messages via CiscoSecure Authentication Agent. In this
use, the update packets are referred to as watchdog packets.
Note To record update packets in Cisco Secure ACS accounting logs, you must
configure your AAA clients to send the update packets. For more information
about configuring your AAA client to send update packets, refer to the
documentation for your AAA clients.
• Logging Update Packets Locally—To log update packets on the local
Cisco Secure ACS server, enable the Log Update/Watchdog Packets from this
Access Server option for each AAA client in Network Configuration.
For more information on setting this option for a AAA client, see Adding a
AAA Client, page 4-15.
• Logging Update Packets Remotely—To log update packets on a remote
logging server, enable the Log Update/Watchdog Packets from this remote
AAA Server option for the remote server AAA Server table entry on the local
Cisco Secure ACS server.
For more information on setting this option for a AAA server, see Adding a
AAA Server, page 4-23.
