enable radius-accounting

enable radius-accounting {mgmt-access | netlogin}

Description

Enables RADIUS accounting.

Syntax Description


mgmt-access	Specifies the switch management RADIUS accounting server.
netlogin	Specifies the network login RADIUS accounting server.

Default

RADIUS accounting is disabled for both switch management and network login by default.

Usage Guidelines

The RADIUS client must also be enabled.

Before you enable RADIUS accounting on the switch, you must configure the servers used for accounting and configure the authentication string (shared secret) used to communicate with the RADIUS accounting server.

To configure the RADIUS accounting servers, use the following command:

configure radius-accounting {mgmt-access | netlogin} [primary | secondary] server [ipaddress |hostname] {tcp_port} client-ip [ipaddress] {vr vr_name}

To configure the shared secret, use the following command:

configure radius-accounting {mgmt-access | netlogin} [primary | secondary] shared-secret {encrypted} string

If you do not specify a keyword, RADIUS accounting is enabled on the switch for both management and network login.

Use the mgmt-access keyword to enable RADIUS accounting for switch management functions.

Use the netlogin keyword to enable RADIUS accounting for network login.

Example

The following command enables RADIUS accounting on the switch for both management and network login:

enable radius-accounting

The following command enables RADIUS accounting for network login:

enable radius-accounting netlogin
