on the Switch. The following is a list of information that will be sent to the RADIUS server when an event triggers the
Switch to send these informational packets.

There are three types of Accounting that can be enabled on the Switch.
Network – When enabled, the Switch will send informational packets to a remote RADIUS server when network
events occur on the Switch.
Shell – 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.
