RADIUS Configuration Commands

accounting optional

Syntax
accounting optional
undo accounting optional
View
RADIUS scheme view
Parameters
None
Description
Use the accounting optional command to open the accounting-optional switch.
Use the undo accounting optional command to close the accounting-optional switch so that the
system performs accounting for users unconditionally.
By default, the system performs accounting for users unconditionally.
Note that:
If the system does not find any available accounting server or fails to communicate with any
accounting server when it performs accounting for an online user, it will not disconnect the user as
long as the accounting optional command has been executed. This command is commonly used
in the cases where only authentication is needed and accounting is not needed.
This configuration takes effect only on the ISP domains using this RADIUS scheme.
If you configure the accounting optional command in ISP domain view, it is effective to all users
in the domain; if you configure it in RADIUS scheme view, it is effective to users the RADIUS
scheme is used for.
