Configuring Class-Based Accounting; Configuration Procedure - HP 5830 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring class-based accounting

Class-based accounting collects statistics (in packets or bytes) on a per-traffic class basis. For example,
you can define the action to collect statistics for traffic sourced from a certain IP address. By analyzing
the statistics, you can determine whether anomalies have occurred and what action to take.

Configuration procedure

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a class and enter
class view.
3. Configure match criteria.
4. Return to system view.
5. Create a behavior and

6. Configure the accounting
action.
7. Return to system view.

traffic behavior in the QoS
policy.
10. Return to system view.
11. Apply the QoS policy.
