We have a wireless network and sometimes when link between two points is down, radius updates are not received and session stays opened. I solved this problem with additional field in radacct table and I place time stamp inside that field on every update. If there is no update in 5 minutes (i can define interval), script closes connection.
This will solve your problems with opened connections. But what if user still stays connected after link is back and his session is closed? Answer: Traffic won't be recorded because user don't have opened connection (session with AcctStopTime = '0000-00-00 00:00:00') So there are no ideal solutions :) On Feb 1, 2008 1:53 PM, Arran Cudbard-Bell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Devinder Singh wrote: > > > > Hi > > > > I had use daloradius and you can monitor how many users are online etc > It's guessing from the number of 'open' sessions in your accounting > database (those without a stop time), if something goes wibble on the > NAS or infrastructure between the NAS and server, and a user disconnects > in that period (and maximum retries are hit, all hosts exhausted etc) > then the Accounting Stop packet will be discarded by the switch and that > session will never be recorded as closing. > > Any good administration tool should include tools to query the standard > dot1x MIB and to periodically go round and check all 'open' sessions by > polling the NAS's and ammend the information in the database > appropriately.
