Usage Guidelines
If the newinfo keyword is used, interim accounting records are sent to the accounting server every time there
is new accounting information to report. An example of this report would be when IP Control Protocol (IPCP)
completes IP address negotiation with the remote peer. The interim accounting record includes the negotiated
IP address used by the remote peer.
When used with the periodic keyword, interim accounting records are sent periodically as defined by the
minutes argument. The interim accounting record contains all the accounting information recorded for that
user up to the time the accounting record is sent.
When using both the newinfo and periodic keywords, interim accounting records are sent to the accounting
server every time there is new accounting information to report, and accounting records are sent to the
accounting server periodically as defined by the minutes argument. For example, if you configure the aaa
accounting update command with the newinfo and periodic keywords, all users currently logged in continue
to generate periodic interim accounting records while new users generate accounting records based on the
newinfo algorithm.
