Configuring Accounting
Accounting Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when configuring accounting on the switch:
•
Configure RADIUS and servers before enabling accounting. See the
“Specifying
Servers” section on page 21-17
or the
“Specifying RADIUS Servers” section on
page 21-24
for more information on server setup.
•
Configure RADIUS and keys to encrypt protocol packets before enabling accounting.
See the
“Specifying the Key” section on page 21-19
or the
“Specifying the RADIUS
Key” section on page 21-24
for more information on the key setup.
Note
The amount of DRAM allocated for one accounting event is approximately 500 bytes. The total
amount of DRAM used by accounting depends on the number of
concurrent
accountable events in
the system.
