AAA accounting is an AAA service that helps track the services and resources that network users are
accessing and using. Accounting works by sending records of user activity to a configured server that can
be used by network administrators to monitor network management, client billing, and auditing. In AOS,
AAA accounting can record information about outbound connections made from the network access server
using the aaa accounting connection command to create method lists that monitor outbound
connections.
Before AAA accounting method lists can be configured or applied, AAA must be enabled. To enable AAA,
use the command aaa on on page
Each AAA accounting method list relies on a combination of accounting methods. Each method must be
entered into the list in the order that they are to be performed. Although these methods can be entered in
any order, each can only be used once. The exception is the group <name> method that can be entered
multiple times to accommodate multiple configured server groups. When specifying methods for the AAA
accounting connection method list, it is important to remember that no additional parameters are available
when using the none option, and that group tacacs+ or group <name> methods are not available until
after specifying start-stop or stop-only. Once you have specified start-stop or stop-only as a method,
you can specify group tacacs+ and group <name> in any order or combination. If the unit fails to make a
connection with the first group listed, it will try the next group specified.
The two types of method lists created using the aaa accounting connection command are a default list
and a named list. A default list is one that is created and automatically applied to all line interfaces at the
global level. A named method list is one that does not perform any action until it is manually applied to an
interface. Named AAA accounting connection method lists are applied to line interfaces using the
accounting connection command from the appropriate line interface configuration mode

To use TACACS+ servers to record connection accounting information (TACACS+ are the only servers
available for AOS AAA accounting; RADIUS servers are not supported), the TACACS+ servers must be
configured prior to creating the method list. You can configure all TACACS+ servers in the system using
the command tacacs-server on page
command tacacs-server host on page
use all TACACS+ servers for maintaining accounting records by using the group tacacs+ method. If you
only want to use some of the available TACACS+ servers for accounting, you can create a named server
group and add the TACACS+ servers to the group. Server groups are created using the command
group server on page 886
