Accounting Configuration Guidelines
This section describes the guidelines for configuring accounting on the switch:
• Configure the RADIUS and TACACS+ servers before enabling accounting. See the “Specifying
TACACS+ Servers” section on page 39-19 or the “Specifying RADIUS Servers” section on
page 39-26 for more information on the server setup.
• Configure the RADIUS and TACACS+ keys to encrypt the protocol packets before enabling
accounting. See the “Specifying the TACACS+ Key” section on page 39-21 or the “Specifying the
RADIUS Key” section on page 39-26 for more information on the key setup.
Note The amount of DRAM that is allocated for one accounting event is approximately 500 bytes. The total
amount of DRAM that is used by accounting depends on the number of concurrent accountable events
in the system.
