An accounting list is identified by the default keyword or a user-specified
list_name. Accounting records, when enabled for a line-mode, can be sent at
both the beginning and at the end of the session (start-stop) or only at the
end (stop-only). If none is specified, accounting is disabled for the specified
list. If tacacs is specified as the accounting method, accounting records are
transmitted to a TACACS+ server. If radius is the specified accounting
method, accounting records are transmitted to a RADIUS server.
Note the following:
• A maximum of five Accounting Method lists can be created for each exec
and commands type.
• Only the default Accounting Method list can be created for RADIUS.
There is no provision to create more.
• The same list-name can be used for both exec and commands accounting
type
• AAA Accounting for commands with RADIUS as the accounting method
is not supported.
• Start-stop or None are the only supported record types for RADIUS
accounting. Start-stop enables accounting and None disables accounting.
• RADIUS is the only accounting method type supported for 802.1X
accounting.
• For the same set of accounting type and list name, the administrator can
change the record type or the methods list, without having to first delete
the previous configuration.
• Interim accounting is enabled using the aaa accounting update command.
• Use either the aaa accounting dot1x default none or no aaa accounting
dot1x default command to disable dot1x accounting.
