[c-nsp] Acct-Session-Id-Count problem

[Oliver Boehmer (oboehmer)]

Hi,

not sure if the behaviour you're reporting is expected or not, but one
way to work with this is system accounting where we'll send an
accounting record when the system reboots (Acct-Status-Type =
Accounting-On), so your backend will know about it. Just enable "aaa
accounting system default start-stop group radius".
