Enhancements in Release F.04.08

Configuring RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Determine how you want the switch to send accounting data to a RADIUS server:

Start-Stop:

Send a start record accounting notice at the beginning of the accounting session and a stop record notice at the end of the session. Both notices include the latest data the switch has collected for the requested accounting type (Network, Exec, or System).

Do not wait for an acknowledgement.

The system option (page 119) ignores start-stopbecause the switch sends the accumulated data only when there is a reboot, reload, or accounting on/off event.

Stop-Only:

Send a stop record accounting notice at the end of the accounting session. The notice includes the latest data the switch has collected for the requested accounting type (Network, Exec, or System).

Do not wait for an acknowledgment.

The system option (page 119) always delivers stop-onlyoperation because the switch sends the accumulated data only when there is a reboot, reload, or accounting on/off event.

Syntax: [no] aaa accounting < exec network system > < start-stop stop-only > radius
