If the user has configured the user privilege attribute of the RADIUS server (for example, User A has “Admin” privilege) and the login is successful, the device will assign the correct privilege level (according to the RADIUS server) to the user. However, if the user does not configure the user privilege attribute and logs in successfully, the device will assign “User” privilege to this user.
RADIUS Accounting Settings
The Accounting feature of the Switch uses a remote RADIUS server to collect information regarding events occurring on the Switch. The following is a list of information that will be sent to the RADIUS server when an event triggers the Switch to send these informational packets.
• | Account Session ID | • | Username |
• | Account Status Type | • | Service Type |
• | Account Terminate Cause | • | NAS IP Address |
• | Account Authentication | • | NAS Identifier |
• | Account Delay Time | • | Calling Station ID |
•Account Session Time
There are three types of Accounting that can be enabled on the Switch.
Network – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when network events occur on the Switch.
Shell – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when a user either logs in, logs out or times out on the Switch, using the console, Telnet, or SSH.
System - When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when system events occur on the Switch, such as a system reset or system boot.
Remember, this feature will not work properly unless a RADIUS Server has first been configured. This RADIUS server will format, store and manage the information collected here.
