Authorization Mode:

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.

The following sections present the AAA accounting configuration tasks.
