There are two types of Accounting that can be enabled on the Switch.
Exec – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when a user either logs in, logs out
or times out on the Switch, using the console, Telnet or SSH.
System - When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when system events occur on the
Switch, such as a system reset or system boot.
Remember, this feature will not work properly unless a RADIUS Server has first been configured. This RADIUS server will
format, store and manage the information collected here. To configure the Accounting types on the switch, click Security >
Access Authentication Control > Accounting, which will display the following window. Use the pull-down menu to enable or
disable Exec accounting, System Accounting or both. Click Apply to implement changes made.
