Usage Guidelines

You can configure both RADIUS 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.

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.

The no form of the command disables accounting.

Examples

The following example enables 802.1x accounting. 

device(config)# aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop radius

The following example enables 802.1x accounting and configures RADIUS as the primary accounting method. If the configured primary RADIUS accounting fails due to an error, the device tried the backup accounting method "none"; that is, accounting will be disabled. 

device(config)# aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop radius none
