Configuring RADIUS Accounting for CLI Commands

You can configure RADIUS accounting for CLI commands by specifying a privilege level.

To configure the RUCKUS device to perform RADIUS accounting for the commands available at the Super User privilege level (that is; all commands on the device), enter the following command: 

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

The example configures RADIUS accounting for commands at the Super User level (0).

An Accounting Start packet is sent to the RADIUS accounting server when a user enters a command, and an Accounting Stop packet is sent when the service provided by the command is completed.

The privilege-level parameter can be one of the following values:

  • 0 - Records commands available at the Super User level (all commands)
  • 4 - Records commands available at the Port Configuration level (port-config and read-only commands)
  • 5 - Records commands available at the Read Only level (read-only commands)
Note: If authorization is enabled and the command requires authorization, authorization is performed before accounting takes place. If authorization fails for the command, no accounting takes place.
