Technical Tip: Baseline Capture for Successful RADIUS Accounting

[acvaldez]

Description	This article provides a baseline of packet capture that would demonstrate a successful radius accounting.
Scope	Wireshark and FortiAuthenticator.
Solution	To configure RADIUS accounting on FortiAuthenticator, refer to this comprehensive guide: RADIUS accounting. The following packet capture illustrates RADIUS traffic sent to FortiAuthenticator, demonstrating a successful RADIUS accounting flow under Start -> Interim-Update -> Stop. This capture provides a baseline reference for validating the proper flow of RADIUS accounting messages. If the packet capture does not include radius traffic due to other packets that might fulfill maximum packet captured on that interface ,it is possible to run a packet capture on FortiAuthenticator CLI: execute tcpdumpfile -nnvi any port 1813 To download this packet capture, go to: https://<fac-ip>/debug/pcap-dump.
