RADIUS Accounting Settings
The Accounting feature of the Switch uses a remote RADIUS server to collect information regarding events occurring on the
Switch. The following is a list of information that will be sent to the RADIUS server when an event triggers the Switch to send
these informational packets. Account Session ID
• Account Status Type
• Account Terminate Cause
• Account Authentic
• Account Delay Time
• Account Session Time
• Username
• Service Type
• NAS IP Address
• NAS Identifier
• Calling Station ID
There are three types of Accounting that can be enabled on the Switch.
Network – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when 802.1X users connect to
the physical ports on the switch to access the network. Network accounting only works when 802.1X is enabled
Shell – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when a user either logs in, logs out
or times out on the Switch, using the console, Telnet, or SSH.
System – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when system events occur on the
Switch, such as a system reset or system boot.
Remember, this feature will not work properly unless a RADIUS Server has first been configured. This RADIUS server will
format, store and manage the information collected here.
