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 access point 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. See the “RADIUS Attributes Sent by the
Access Point” section on page 13-20 for a complete list of attributes sent and honored by the access
point.
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.
