Accounting notification is sent when the administrator exits exec mode.
The duration of the exec session is logged in the accounting notice.
Accounting notifications are sent at the end of each administrator
executed command. In the case of commands like reload, and clear config,
an exception is made and the stop accounting notice is sent at the
beginning of the command.
Accounting Method Lists
An Accounting Method List (AML) is an ordered list of accounting methods
that can be applied to the accounting types (exec or commands). Accounting
Method Lists are identified by the default keyword or by a user-defined name.
TACACS+ and RADIUS are supported as accounting methods.
TACACS+ accounts all accounting types (exec and commands). RADIUS
only accounts exec sessions.

purposes:

console.
Telnet: This mode is used when user logs in through Telnet.
