CONFIGURING AAA
ACCOUNTING
Use the Security > AAA > Accounting page to enable accounting of
requested services for billing or security purposes, and also to display the
configured accounting methods, the methods applied to specific interfaces,
and basic accounting information recorded for user sessions.

enabled before accounting is enabled.

service updates information for all users on the system to the
accounting server. (Range: 0-2147483647 minutes; where 0 means

■
802.1X – Accounting for end users.

connections.
◆ Method Name – Specifies an accounting method for service requests.
The “default” methods are used for a requested service if no other
methods have been defined. (Range: 1-255 characters)
Note that the method name is only used to describe the accounting
method configured on the specified RADIUS or TACACS+ servers. No
information is sent to the servers about the method to use.

group configured on the Security > AAA > Server (Configure Group)
page.
