U Configuring accounting
When configuring accounting, the general parameters must be defined:
D Collect accounting information
D Turn accounting on or off.
D Store accounting information in flash ROM
D Turn accounting data in flash memory on or off. Accounting data saved
to flash will not be lost in the event of a power outage.
D Discriminator
Selection of the feature according to which the accounting data are to be
gathered:
D MAC address: The data are collected according to the client's MAC
address.
D IP address: The data are collected according to the client's IP address.
Caution: When varying IP addresses are in use, e.g. when using a DHCP
server, the option 'IP address' can lead to inaccurate accounting data. In
this case, it may not be possible to accurately assign the data to users.
Conversely, with this setting, data can be separated from clients that are
behind another router and therefore appear with the same MAC address
as the router in the accounting list.
