Re: Interim Accouting

 May I know the common practise of radius accounting, it is
 common to expect the radius client to provide interim accounting,
 ie it sends accounting info every so many seconds interval
 before the session is closed ?

Every so many minutes, not seconds. It doesn't make much sense to have
this interval at less than 5 minutes.

 I just checked Coova chilli, it does it for the clients session
 based on a configurable interval. But for the administrative
 account of the NAS itself, it does not do any interim
 accounting.

Why on Earth would it? Are you going to charge administrators for using
your equipment? Or do you actually pay them to do that?

I know about CISCO equipment.

This command

aaa accounting update newinfo periodic //value in minutes//

makes CISCO radius client send interim updates.
