Configuring RADIUS
To disable authorization, use the no aaa authorization {network | exec} method1 global configuration
command.
Starting RADIUS Accounting
The AAA accounting feature tracks the services that users are accessing and the amount of network
resources that they are consuming. When AAA accounting is enabled, the ML-Series card reports user
activity to the RADIUS security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting record
contains accounting attribute-value (AV) pairs and is stored on the security server. This data can then be
analyzed for network management, client billing, or auditing.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable RADIUS accounting for each
Cisco IOS privilege level and for network services:
To disable accounting, use the no aaa accounting {network | exec} start-stop method1... global
configuration command.
Configuring a nas-ip-address in the RADIUS Packet
The ML-Series card in RADIUS relay mode allows the user to configure a separate nas-ip-address for
each ML-Series card. In RADIUS standalone mode, this comman d is hidden in the Cisco IOS CLI. This
allows the RADIUS server to distinguish among individual ML-Series card in the same ONS node.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router# configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 Router (config)# aaa authorization
network radius
Configure the ML-Series card for user RADIUS authorization for all
network-related service requests.
Step 3 Router (config)# aaa authorization
exec radius
Configure the ML-Series card for user RADIUS authorization if the user
has privileged EXEC access.
The exec keyword might return user profile information (such as
autocommand information).
Step 4 Router (config)# end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 Router# show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 6 Router# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router# configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 Router (config)# aaa accounting
network start-stop radius
Enable RADIUS accounting for all network-related service requests.
Step 3 Router (config)# aaa accounting exec
start-stop radius
Enable RADIUS accounting to send a start-record accounting notice at
the beginning of a privileged EXEC process and a stop-record at the end.
Step 4 Router (config)# end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 Router# show running-config Verify your entries.
Step 6 Router# copy running-config
startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
