RADIUS

[gviera]

I have a cisco AS5300 gateway and I would like to use acs to do accounting, how I configure the acs in order to bill the calls that I recieve from other carriers, Do I have to assign each carrier a user ? How I do it? Please is vital for me to solve this problem

Typically, you can enable the as5300 to send accounting records to your radius server by issuing

! Enable New AAA model

! Enable AAA Accounting

!

aaa new-model

aaa accounting connection h323 stop-only group radius

!

! RADIUS

!

radius-server host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key 7 xxxxxx

radius-server retransmit 3

radius-server attribute nas-port format c

radius-server vsa send accounting

!

! Enable Accounting

!

gw-accounting h323 vsa

gw-accounting voip

!

!

This will send all stop records to your radius server.

You can additionally set up a very simple radius server using freeBSD, (http://www.freebsd.org) and a program like cistron-radius (http://www.radius.cistron.nl/).

There are multiple ways to tell carriers apart, and properly bill them for the traffic they sent. It took me about 6 months to write the software to do this properly.

Then again, you can always purchase some commercial products that do this.
