Configuring AAA Accounting Default Methods
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch supports TACACS+ and RADIUS methods for accounting. The switches
report user activity to TACACS+ or RADIUS security servers in the form of accounting records. Each
accounting record contains accounting attribute-value (AV) pairs and is stored on the AAA server.
When you activate AAA accounting, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch reports these attributes as accounting
records, which are then stored in an accounting log on the security server.
You can create default method lists defining specific accounting methods, which include the following:.
• RADIUS server group—Uses the global pool of RADIUS servers for accounting.
• Specified server group—Uses a specified RADIUS or TACACS+ server group for accounting.
• Local—Uses the local username or password database for accounting.
If you have configured server groups and the server groups do not respond, by default the local database
