Cisco 7204VXR definitely supports interim accounting (period >= 5min). Look for: aaa accounting ... aaa accounting update newinfo periodic 5 Regards, Peter. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

RE: Dialup Admin and PPPoE
Thanks I'll give that a try. The NAS I have is a Cisco 7204VXR with an NPE-G2 so I assume (hope) it supports Accounting Interim-Update. Thanks for the suggestion.

Probably nothing. Try adding reply item "Acct-Interim-Interval := 300" to a test user (in radreply table, if you're using database backend), login, do stuff that uses bandwidth for 6 minutes or so, and check: - whether the NAS sends acct interim update (easiest if you can run FR in debug mode) - whether the acct entry is updated - whether dialup admin correctly displays the updated acct record -- Fajar - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

RE: Dialup Admin and PPPoE
Thank you. I believe our NAS supports this and is working. If I go into the user it will show they've been connected for days and shows and upload/download value. The catch is the reporting. This data doesn't get updated into the statistics until the user logs off. I'm sure it's something specific with Dialup Admin since it's built from the premise of a dialup ISP which will have typical log offs. I was just curious if there is a config or change to make to Dialup Admin that would update statistics while an account is still logged on but not duplicate data.

Dialup Admin and PPPoE
Hello, I've setup FreeRadius and Dialup Admin to manage it. One item I haven't been able to figure out is how to have the Upload and Download statistics updated on a regular basis. With PPPoE my users stay always on. Looking at the code it seems that transfer statistics are only updated if there is a complete session with a log off. Ideally I'd like something we could run every day or 12 hours or something that would update the transfer statistics even if the user is still online. I've done a lot of searching and read all the documents so if I've missed something I apologize. If somebody has some insight and can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Serge. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
