An accounting policy must define a record name and collection interval. Only one record name can be configured per accounting policy. Also, a record name can only be used in one accounting policy.
The record name, sub-record types, and default collection period for access and network accounting policies are shown as follows.
The 7210 SAS provides 21 accounting records for the following accounting policies:
access
accessport
network
networkIf
sdp
When creating accounting policies, only one (of each) access, accessport, network, networkIf and sdp accounting policy can be defined as default. If statistics collection is enabled on an accounting object and no accounting policy is applied, the default accounting policy is used. If a default policy is not defined, no statistics are collected unless a specifically defined accounting policy is applied.
Each accounting record name is composed of one or more sub-records composed of multiple fields.
For VLL and VPLS services on the 7210 SAS, the user can run the config>service>epipe/vpls>sap>statistics>ingress>counter-mode {in-out-profile-count | forward-drop-count} to change the counter-mode of counters associated with SAP ingress meters or policers. See the 7210 SAS-Mxp, S, Sx, T Services Guide and 7210 SAS-R6, R12 Services Guide for more information about the counter-mode command.
The statistics collected for the following accounting records vary based on the counter-mode selected:
Service-ingress-octets
Service-ingress-packets
Combined-service-ingress
Complete-service-ingress-egress
