aaa accounting
This command is used in the Global Config mode in order to create an accounting method list for user
EXEC sessions, user executed commands, or DOT1X. This list is identified either by
default
or by a user-
specified
Iist_name
. When enabled for a line-mode, accounting records can be sent either at both the
beginning and the end (i.e.,
start-stop
) or only at the end (i.e.,
stop-only
). If the user specifies
none
,
then accounting is disabled for the indicated list. If the user specifies
as the accounting
method, then accounting records are sent to a server. If the user specifies
radius
as the
accounting method, then accounting records are sent to a RADIUS server.
The
no
command is used to delete the accounting method list.
Note:
The following stipulations all apply:
•
For each exec and commands type, the maximum number of Accounting Method lists that
can be created is five.
•
For DOT1X, it is only possible to create the default Accounting Method list. No other lists can
be created.
•
It is possible to use the same list-name for both the exec and commands accounting types.
•
The use of AAA Accounting for commands with RADIUS as the accounting method is not
possible.
•
For DOT1X accounting, the only supported record type is either Start-stop or None, where
the use of Start-stop enables accounting and the use of None disables accounting.
•
The only accounting method type supported for DOT1X accounting is RADIUS.
