AT-9000 Switch Command Line User’s Guide
Section VIII: Port Security 735
RADIUS Accounting
The switch supports RADIUS accounting on authenticator ports. This
feature sends information about the status of the supplicants to the
RADIUS server so that you can monitor network activity and use.
The switch sends accounting information to the RADIUS server when the
following events occur:
Supplicants log on
Supplicants logs off
Authenticator ports change states during active supplicant sessions
(for example, a port is reset or is changed from the Authenticator role
to None role while a supplicant is logged on)
The event information the switch sends to the RADIUS server includes:
The port number where an event occurred
The date and time when an event occurred
The number of packets transmitted and received by a switch port
during a supplicant’s session. This information is sent when a client
logs off.
You can also configure the accounting feature to send interim updates so
you can monitor which clients are still active.
Here are the guidelines to using the accounting feature:
The management software supports the Network level of accounting,
but not the System or Exec levels.
This feature is only available on authenticator ports.
You must configure 802.1x Port-based Network Access Control as
explained in this chapter and designate the authenticator ports.
You must also specify from one to three RADIUS servers.
