Accounting Optional
Specify whether to enable the accounting optional feature.
With the feature enabled, a user who would otherwise be disconnected can use the
network resources even when there is no accounting server available or when
communication with the current accounting server fails.
If accounting for such a user fails, the switch no longer sends real-time accounting
updates for the user.
