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 in which they are configured.

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

The no form of the command disables accounting.

Examples

The following example enables accounting for MAC authentication sessions. 

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

The following example enables accounting for MAC authentication and configures RADIUS as the primary accounting method. If the configured primary RADIUS accounting fails due to an error, the device tries the backup accounting method "none"; that is, accounting is disabled. 

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