AAA Accounting Commands
AAA Accounting enables tracking of services that users are accessing and the
amount of network resources being consumed by those services.When AAA
Accounting is enabled, the network server reports user activity to the TACACS+
security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting record is
comprised of accounting AV pairs and is stored on the access control server.
As with authentication and authorization, you must configure AAA Accounting by
defining named list of accounting methods, and then apply that list to various
interfaces. The commands are:
• aaa accounting
• aaa accounting suppress
• accounting
• show accounting
aaa accounting
