Configures

AAA Accounting

Default

Disabled

Description

This command enables accounting, which can be used for billing and security purposes.

level

The accounting level is specified using one of the following keywords: system includes all systemwide commands; network includes all networking commands, like ppp. exec includes all EXEC-level commands; and command level includes all commands at a specific privilege level.

type

The type of accounting can be set to one of the following: start-stop creates an accounting entry at the start and end of the command; wait-start makes an entry at the start and end of the command and causes the command to wait until the accounting message has been received by the server; and stop-only sends an accounting entry only when the command has completed execution.

server-type

Specifies which protocol to use for accounting; either tacacs+ or radius.

Example

The following configuration statements enable AAA accounting for commands at level 5. An accounting entry is generated when the command is initiated and when it is terminated; the command doesn’t execute until the server has received the message and the TACACS+ protocol is used to send the entries to the accounting server.
