Cisco Systems 3750E manual Starting Radius Accounting, End Return to privileged Exec mode

Chapter 9 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication

Controlling Switch Access with RADIUS

	Command	Purpose
Step 3
	aaa authorization exec radius	Configure the switch 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

Step 5
	show running-config	Verify your entries.
Step 6
	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

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 switch 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:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	aaa accounting network start-stop	Enable RADIUS accounting for all network-related service requests.
	radius
Step 3
	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
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
	show running-config	Verify your entries.
Step 6
	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

To disable accounting, use the no aaa accounting {network exec} {start-stop} method1... global configuration command.
