User Guidelines
This command enables the recording of device management sessions (Telnet,
serial and WEB but not SNMP).
It records only users that were identified with a username (e.g. a user that was
logged in with a line password is not recorded).
If accounting is activated, the device sends a “start”/“stop” messages to a RADIUS
server when a user logs in / logs out respectively.
The device uses the configured priorities of the available RADIUS/TACACS+
servers in order to select the RADIUS/TACACS+ server.
The following table describes the supported RADIUS accounting attributes
values, and in which messages they are sent by the switch.
