User Guidelines
Dell EMC recommends that a fixed time be configured for the delay in order
to ensure timely delivery of Acct-Start packets to the RADIUS accounting
server. Acct-Interim and Acct-Stop messages are not delayed, nor are any
Authentication messages delayed by configuration of this command.
If the switch discovers that the host has obtained an IPv4/IPv6 address, it may
send the Acct-Start packet before the expiry of the delay period.
The delay is accounted for in the Acct-Delay-Time attribute sent to the
RADIUS accounting server.
Use the show authentication clients command to display the discovered IPv4
address/IPv6 address received from RADIUS server, if any.
Command History
Command introduced in firmware release 6.5.2.
aaa accounting update

accounting packets to RADIUS accounting server(s).
