Enhancements in Release F.04.08

Configuring RADIUS Authentication and Accounting

Updates: In addition to using a Start-Stop or Stop-Only trigger, you can optionally configure the switch to send periodic accounting record updates to a RADIUS server.

Suppress: The switch can suppress accounting for an unknown user having no username.

Syntax: [no] aaa accounting update periodic < 1 .. 525600 >

Sets the accounting update period

 

for all accounting sessions on the

 

switch. (The no form disables the

 

update function and resets the value

 

to zero.) (Default: zero; disabled)

[no] aaa accounting suppress null-username

Disables accounting for unknown

 

users having no username.

 

(Default: suppression disabled)

To continue the example in figure 48, suppose that you wanted the switch to:

Send updates every 10 minutes on in-progress accounting sessions.

Block accounting for unknown users (no username).
