Configuring RADIUS accounting interim request

About this task

Configure RADIUS accounting interim requests to create a log whenever a user executes more than the number of CLI commands you specify.

If the packet size equals or exceeds 1.8 KB, an interim request packet is sent even if the configured limit is not reached. Therefore, the trigger to send out the interim request is either the configured value or a packet size greater than, or equal to 1.8 KB, whichever happens first.

Procedure

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Configure RADIUS accounting interim requests:

    radius cli-cmd-count <1-40>

  3. Include or exclude CLI commands in RADIUS accounting:

    radius accounting include-cli-commands
