Managing Accounting
Introduction
You can manage the accounting feature fully by using SNMP or the user interface. You
can access the accounting log itself using both mechanisms. This section describes the
user interface commands you can use to manage the accounting feature.
Reference
Refer to
SNMP Survival Guide
(located with the software) for instructions on
managing the accounting component with SNMP.
Defining the Accounting Log Size
Use the DEFINE ACCOUNTING LOGSIZE command to control the amount of
memory allocated at initialization to create the log file. Valid values for the LOGSIZE
variable are 0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 (units are kilobytes). If the accounting
component cannot allocate the specified amount of memory at the time of
initialization, the value displayed for LOGSIZE in the SHOW ACCOUNTING
CHARACTERISTICS display will be set to zero.
If this occurs, define a smaller value for LOGSIZE. This characteristic can only be
modified with a DEFINE command. Note that a newly defined value will not take
effect until the next time the server is reinitialized.
Note
An access server configured with 2 megabytes of memory may not have sufficient
resources to allow for the creation of an accounting log.
Example: Defining the Accounting Log Size
The following shows how to set the size of allocated memory to 512 KB:
