1. One of the following events occur on the Dell PowerConnect device:
A user logs into the management interface using Telnet or SSH
A user enters a command for which accounting has been configured
A system event occurs, such as a reboot or reloading of the configuration file
2. The Dell PowerConnect device checks its configuration to see if the event is one for which
RADIUS accounting is required.

Accounting Start packet to the RADIUS accounting server, containing information about the
event.
4. The RADIUS accounting server acknowledges the Accounting Start packet.
5. The RADIUS accounting server records information about the event.
6. When the event is concluded, the Dell PowerConnect device sends an Accounting Stop packet
to the RADIUS accounting server.
