RADIUS Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
Configuring RADIUS Accounting
■ Start-Stop:
• Send a start record accounting notice at the beginning of the account-
ing session and a stop record notice at the end of the session. Both
notices include the latest data the switch has collected for the
requested accounting type (Network, Exec, or System).
• Do not wait for an acknowledgement.
The system option (page 5-30) ignores
start-stop
because the switch sends
the accumulated data only when there is a reboot, reload, or accounting
on/off event.
■ Stop-Only:
• Send a stop record accounting notice at the end of the accounting
session. The notice includes the latest data the switch has collected
for the requested accounting type (Network, Exec, or System).
• Do not wait for an acknowledgment.
The system option (page 5-30) always delivers stop-only operation because
the switch sends the accumulated data only when there is a reboot, reload,
or accounting on/off event.
For example, to configure RADIUS accounting on the switch with
start-stop
for exec functions and stop-only for system functions:
