DHCP Accounting broken since 7.x

Mon Mar 06, 2023 4:12 pm

Hi Community,

We have many customers running DHCP (IPoE) accounting with radius and dynamic queues (MAC Auth). It seems that after upgrading the DHCP radius accounting underwent some changes that no longer report usage stats to the radius server.

We've already tested this quite some time ago on v7.2 but the issue persists on v7.8

For some strange reason MikroTik Radius client does not send Acct-Output/Input attributes with accounting, as it did in ROS 6 - please see screenshots below

We tried different settings in Radius, though there are not that many related to accounting - no results.

We've tested this in the same setup (MikroTik CHR 6.48 & MikroTik CHR 7.2) with the same routers configs etc

Please see below
1. 6.48 vs 7.2 radius debug packet
2. Showing traffic on DHCP dynamic queues - but no traffic on radius server (Splynx)

Hello, Wondering if you made any progress with this DHCP Accounting, not updating Radius (freeRadius in this case)

It sounds like you've encountered an issue with DHCP radius accounting and dynamic queues after upgrading from ROS 6 to ROS 7. It can be frustrating when a feature that used to work changes unexpectedly.

While I don't have direct access to your setup, I can suggest a few troubleshooting steps that might help:

Review Configuration Changes: Carefully compare your configuration settings in ROS 6 and ROS 7 to ensure there are no discrepancies. Sometimes, minor changes in configurations can have a big impact.

Check for Firmware Updates: Ensure that your MikroTik CHR routers are running the latest firmware or software updates. Sometimes, these updates include bug fixes that might resolve the issue.
