Information About IP Services
Cisco IP Accounting
Cisco IP accounting support provides basic IP accounting functions. By enabling IP accounting, users can see the number of bytes and packets switched through the Cisco IOS software on a source and destination IP address basis. Only transit IP traffic is measured and only on an outbound basis; traffic generated by the software or terminating in the software is not included in the accounting statistics. To maintain accurate accounting totals, the software maintains two accounting databases: an active and a checkpointed database.
Cisco IP accounting support also provides information identifying IP traffic that fails IP access lists. Identifying IP source addresses that violate IP access lists alerts you to possible attempts to breach security. The data also indicates that you should verify IP access list configurations. To make this functionality available to users, you must enable IP accounting of access list violations using the ip accounting access-violations interface configuration command. Users can then display the number of bytes and packets from a single source that attempted to breach security against the access list for the source destination pair. By default, IP accounting displays the number of packets that have passed access lists and were routed.

DETAILED STEPS
Configuration Examples for IP Services
Example: Configuring IP Accounting
The following example shows how to enable IP accounting based on the source and destination MAC address and based on IP precedence for received and transmitted packets:
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/5 Router(config-if)# ip accounting mac-address input Router(config-if)# ip accounting mac-address output Router(config-if)# ip accounting precedence input Router(config-if)# ip accounting precedence output
The following example shows how to enable IP accounting with the ability to identify IP traffic that fails IP access lists and with the number of transit records that will be stored in the IP accounting database limited to 100:
Router# configure terminal Router(config)# ip accounting-transits 100 Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/5 Router(config-if)# ip accounting output-packets Router(config-if)# ip accounting access-violations

IP Precedence Accounting |
15.2(1)S |
The IP Precedence Accounting feature provides accounting information for IP traffic based on the precedence of any interface. This feature calculates the total packet and byte counts for an interface that receives or sends IP packets and sorts the results based on the IP precedence. This feature is supported on all interfaces and subinterfaces and supports CEF, dCEF, flow, and optimum switching. The following command was introduced by this feature: show interface precedence, ip accounting precedence. |
