Usage Guidelines

You can configure AAA accounting for CLI commands by specifying a privilege level with commands that require accounting.

Note: If authorization is enabled, and the command requires authorization, then authorization is performed before accounting takes place. If authorization fails for the command, no accounting takes place.

You can configure RADIUS, TACACS+, and none as accounting methods. If the configured primary accounting fails due to an error, the device tries the backup accounting methods in the order they are configured.

The no form of the command disables accounting.

Examples

The following example configures the ICX device to perform RADIUS accounting for the commands available at the Super User privilege level (that is, all commands on the device). 

device(config)# aaa accounting commands 0 default start-stop radius

The following example configures the ICX device to perform TACACS+ accounting for the commands available at the Read-only level (that is, read-only commands). The command also configures TACACS+ as the primary accounting followed by RADIUS. 

device(config)# aaa accounting commands 5 default start-stop tacacs+ radius
