Configuring Command Accounting - 3Com 4500G Family Configuration Manual

Configuring Command Accounting

Command accounting allows the HWTACACS server to record all executed commands that are
supported by the device regardless of the command execution result. This helps control and monitor the
user operations on the device.
If command accounting is enabled and command authorization is not enabled, every executed
command will be recorded on the HWTACACS server. If both command accounting and command
authorization are enabled, only the authorized and executed commands will be recorded on the
HWTACACS server.
The command accounting configuration involves three steps:
1) Enable command accounting. See the following table for details.
2) Configure a HWTACACS scheme. Specify the IP addresses of the HWTACACS accounting
servers and other related parameters. For details, refer to the section Configuring HWTACACS of
AAA Configuration in the Security Volume.
3) Configure the ISP domain to use the HWTACACS scheme for command line users. For details,
refer to the section Configuring AAA Accounting Methods for an ISP Domain of AAA Configuration
in the Security Volume.
