Configuring RADIUS Authentication and Accounting
Determine how you want the switch to send accounting data to a RADIUS server:
■ Start-Stop:
• Send a start record accounting notice at the beginning of the accounting 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 119) 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 119) always delivers stop-only operation because the switch sends the
accumulated data only when there is a reboot, reload, or accounting on/off event.
Syntax: [no] aaa accounting < exec | network | system > Configures RADIUS accounting type
< start-stop | stop-only > radius and how data will be sent to the RADIUS
server.
For example, to configure RADIUS accounting on the switch with start-stop for exec functions and
stop-only for system functions:
