RADIUS security
• A system event occurs, such as a reboot or reloading of the configuration file
2. The Brocade device checks its configuration to see if the event is one for which RADIUS
accounting is required.
3. If the event requires RADIUS accounting, the Brocade device sends a RADIUS Accounting Start
packet to the RADIUS accounting server, containing information about the event.
4. The RADIUS accounting server acknowledges the Accounting Start packet.
5. The RADIUS accounting server records information about the event.
6. When the event is concluded, the Brocade device sends an Accounting Stop packet to the
RADIUS accounting server.
7. The RADIUS accounting server acknowledges the Accounting Stop packet.
