6.1.5 Configuring WLAN Accounting Settings
Accounting is the method of collecting and sending security server information for billing, auditing, and
reporting user data; such as start and stop times, executed commands (such as PPP), number of packets and
number of bytes. Accounting enables wireless network administrators to track the services users are
accessing and the network resources they are consuming. When accounting is enabled, the network access
server reports and logs user activity to a RADIUS security server in the form of accounting records. The data
can be analyzed for network management, client billing, and/or auditing. Accounting methods must be
defined through AAA.
Accounting can be enabled and applied to managed WLANs, to uniquely log accounting events specific to
the WLAN. Accounting logs contain information about the use of remote access services by users. This
information is of great assistance in partitioning local versus remote users and how to best accommodate
each. Remote user information can be archived to a location outside of the switch for periodic network and
user permission administration.
To configure WLAN accounting settings:
1. Select Configuration > Wireless LANs > Wireless LAN Policy to display a high-level display of the
existing WLANs available to the wireless controller managed network.
2. Select the Add button to create an additional WLAN or select Edit to modify the properties of an existing
wireless controller WLAN.
3. Select Accounting.
Enforce DHCP Client
Only
Select the checkbox to enforce that the firewall only allows packets from
clients if they used DHCP to obtain an IP address, disallowing static IP
addresses. This feature is disabled by default.
Proxy ARP Mode Use the drop-down menu to define the proxy ARP mode as either Strict or
Dynamic. Proxy ARP is the technique used by the AP to answer ARP requests
intended for another system. By faking its identity, the AP accepts
responsibility for routing packets to the actual destination. Dynamic is the
default value.
Enforce DHCP-Offer
Validation
Select the checkbox to enforce DHCP offer validation. The default setting is
disabled.
