DELL N3000 User Manual

Configuring Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting

Accounting is used to record security events, such as a user logging in or 

executing a command. Accounting records may be sent upon completion of 

an event (stop-only) or at both the beginning and end of an event (start-

stop). There are three types of accounting: commands, Dot1x, and exec.

• Commands—Sends accounting records for command execution.
• Dot1x—Sends accounting records for network access.
•

Exec—Sends accounting records for management access (logins).

For more information about the data sent in accounting records, see "Which 

RADIUS Attributes Does the Switch Support?" on page 234 and "Using 

TACACS+ Servers to Control Management Access" on page 237.
Table 10-4 shows the valid methods for each type of accounting:
