During roaming, accounting is treated as a continuation of an existing 
session, rather than a new session. The following sample output shows a 
wireless user roaming from one WX switch to another WX switch. 

From the accounting records, you can determine the user’s activities by 
viewing the Acct-Status-Type, which varies from START to UPDATE to 
STOP, and the Called-Station-Id, which is the MAC address of the MAP 
through which the wireless user accessed the network. The 
Acct-Multi-Session-Id is guaranteed to be globally unique for the client.

By entering display accounting statistics commands on each WX 
switch involved in the roaming, you can determine the user’s movements 
between WX switches when accounting is configured locally.
