How to collect/generate CDR from a Cisco 3725 IOS-based gatekeeper

[melcastillo]

I had a Cisco 3725 router with Version 12.3(8)T to use as a gatekeeper for a Video over IP network.

The gatekeeper is sitting on the network and all i configure is more on the zone local and subnet, prefix and gw-type prefixes. I think its doing its job to allow pre-defined IPs to connect and use the video service. But unfortunately, i don't know how to generate the CDR parameters for billing system purposes.

What is the best way to capture the CDR parameters using the GK? pls help. thanks.

Or accounting functions within RADIUS??

As you can see my Cisco is introducint this (*) with the replies to the radius server causing a problem when the radius server is trying to understand the timestamps.

Can you tell me why may this be hapening with my cisco radius?

Do i need to reload the IOS?

Kind regards,
