I am currently using PPoE with radius client on a RB500 board. It is currently working great, but I was needing to send my accounting packets to a different radius server. Is there a place where I can specify a different server as the radius accounting server?
Thanks,
Eric
If I undersanded well your question, all you need to do is to specify what radius server MT shell use in Radus menu.
If you have static users, they will be connected without contacting the radius server. If the user is not in the list, then he will be authenticated by (and accounting packet sent to) external radius server.
Try creating another radius server entry with the details of your backup server and check the ‘Accounting Backup’ box. (Haven’t tried it, but I think that’s swhat it’s for).
Actually, I need to have normal radius authentication on one server and radius accounting on another server. I know that other RAS boxes (ie Lucent Maxs, USR Totatl Control boxes, etc) allow you to specify both a radius authentication server and a radius accounting server.
Ofasa, I will try out your suggestion.
Im crossing fingers for Ofasas suggestion to work, but I think it will not 
IMHO, backup radius server will be used only if the primary radius is not responding. Correct me if I`m wrong
Perhaps you could forward your Acct packets from the “authentication” RADIUS server to the other RADIUS server which should do accounting? I think there’s a way to do this with FreeRADIUS.
Of course, that way all accounting data will go “through” you “authentication” RADIUS server…

Okfsa, that worked like a champ. It went ahead and authenticated on the main radius server and then sent an accounting packet to the accounting server.
Much thanks,
Eric
