226 CHAPTER 8: AAA COMMANDS

method1, method2, method3, method4 — At least one of up to four

methods that MSS uses to process accounting records. Specify one or

more of the following methods in priority order. If the first method

does not succeed, MSS tries the second method, and so on.

A method can be one of the following:

local — Stores accounting records in the local database on the

WX switch. When the local accounting storage space is full, MSS

overwrites older records with new ones.

server-group-name — Stores accounting records on one or more

Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers. You

can also enter the names of existing RADIUS server groups as

methods.

Defaults — Accounting is disabled for all users by default.

Access — Enabled.

History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.

Usage — For network users with start-stop accounting whose records

are sent to a RADIUS server, MSS sends interim updates to the RADIUS

server when the user roams.

Examples — The following command issues start-and-stop accounting

records at the local WX database for administrator Natasha, when she

accesses the switch using Telnet or WebManager:

WX4400# set accounting admin Natasha start-stop local

success: change accepted.
