Syntax Definitions
server1 The name of the RADIUS, , or LDAP server used for
accounting of authenticated switch sessions. At least one server is
required. RADIUS, , and LDAP server names are set up
through the

server commands.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of the command to disable accounting for Authenticated Switch Access.
•
Up to 4 accounting servers (total) may be specified. At least one server is required. Each server name
should be separated by a space.
•
The servers may be RADIUS, , LDAP servers, and/or the local Switch Logging facility.
•
If local is specified as server1 , the switch will only use the local Switching Logging facility for
accounting.
•
If local is specified as a backup, it should be entered last in the list of servers. The Switch Logging
facility is always available if the switch is up.
•
The switch uses only the first available server in the list for accounting. For example, if server1 is not
available, the switch will use server2 .
•
RADIUS, , and LDAP servers may each have an additional backup specified through the
aaa radius-server , aaa -server , and aaa ldap-server commands.
