Accounting
Accounting is used to record security events, such as a user logging in or
executing a command. Accounting records may be sent upon completion of
an event (stop-only) or at both the beginning and end of an event (start-
stop). There are three types of accounting: commands, Dot1x, and exec.
• Commands—Sends accounting records for command execution.
• Dot1x—Sends accounting records for network access.
• Exec—Sends accounting records for management access (logins).
For more information about the data sent in accounting records, see "Which
RADIUS Attributes Does the Switch Support?" on page 271 and "Using
TACACS+" on page 274.
