Security

Security features are supported on Dell Networking OS.
This chapter describes several ways to provide security to the Dell Networking system.

For details about all the commands described in this chapter, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell 
Networking OS Command Reference Guide.

 

AAA Accounting

Accounting, authentication, and authorization (AAA) accounting is part of the AAA security model.

For details about commands related to AAA security, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking 
OS Command Reference Guide.
AAA accounting enables tracking of services that users are accessing and the amount of network 
resources being consumed by those services. When you enable AAA accounting, the network server 
reports user activity to the security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting record 
comprises accounting attribute/value (AV) pairs and is stored on the access control server.

As with authentication and authorization, you must configure AAA accounting by defining a named list of 
accounting methods and then applying that list to various virtual terminal line (VTY) lines.
