does anyone know of a way of terminating dialin sessions (async or isdn)
to a cisco as5200 which *doesn't* stop the cisco from sending the radius
Stop record?
i thought i'd work around the 32-bit counter by using snmp to monitor
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets and then using rsh to send a
"clear line" (async) or "clear int" (isdn) if octets was approaching
2GB. i wrote a very ugly perl script to do this and it works...it clears
the connection.
nice idea. unfortunately, no Stop record is sent when a connection is
killed in this way.
i'm not sure which is worse: having no Stop record at all, or having a
Stop record with negative Acct-Output-Octets...i suppose that failing
to account for something is marginally better than accounting with
unreliable data.
