Configure Update Settings

You can configure when the ProCurve Secure Router sends updates to the
TACACS+ server. To configure updates, enter the following command from
the global configuration mode context:
Syntax: aaa accounting update [newinfo | periodic <minutes>]
Include newinfo if you want all new records sent immediately, or include
periodic if you want the records sent at specific intervals. If you specify
periodic, replace <minutes> with a number from 1 to 2,147,483,647.

Do Not Send Records for Null Users

By default, the ProCurve Secure Router does not send accounting information
for the null usernames. Null usernames are any users that the TACACS+
system cannot identify. For example, if you do not control access to the
console line through the TACACS+ servers, users who access and make
changes through the console line will not be known to the TACACS+ server.
The ProCurve Secure Router will not send information about such users to
the TACACS+ server unless you change this default setting. To change the
setting, enter:
Syntax: no aaa accounting suppress null-username

Configuring a RADIUS Server for Authentication

In order to use a RADIUS server in a named list, you must configure the Secure
Router OS to locate and contact that RADIUS server. If your network includes
multiple RADIUS servers, you can add these servers to the default group of
RADIUS servers or define a group of RADIUS servers. In addition, you can
configure specific settings for each RADIUS server, or you can configure
global settings for all of the RADIUS servers you define.

Define the RADIUS Server

The ProCurve Secure Router must be able to locate and communicate with
the RADIUS server. (See Figure 2-2.)
