PPPOE > Radius > SQL Accounting Issue

Hi all,

I’m sure this has been discussed before but I can’t seem to find the thread.
We have a simple setup here, we use an MT to terminate PPPOE and the MT talks to Radius. When the client disconnects, we also get the Accounting data.

My question is:
Is there anyway to get accounting data from the MT to Radius without terminating the clients PPPOE session ?

Alive packets are sent during a connection, you can set the frequency of these packets on the hotspot or the radius server.

Using a sniffer I did not see any packets coming from the MT to Radius, only on connection and disconnection.

What I need is the accounting information which is in the radacct table in SQL. I need that to be sent periodically, not on disconnect only.

Does anyone know how to do this ?

ok got it.

It’s the Interim command in AAA that you need to set to get periodic accounting.

Thanks.
