APPENDIX B About RADIUS and
TACACS+ Accounting
RADIUS Accounting, and TACACS+ Accounting, are client/server
account logging schemes that allow you to log user account
information to a remote server in a per-client file. The file or
record can contain information such as the user who logged in,
the duration of the session, port number, Client IP address, and
the number of bytes/packets that were processed by the LX
unit.
The use of RADIUS Accounting, or TACACS+ Accounting, solves
the problems associated with local storage of large numbers of
records. It also provides a method for billing customers for
account usage.
L RADIUS Accounting is a developing standard that is
vendor extensible by design, including a provision for
vendor-specific extensions. This allows for greater
expandability of accounting information in the future.
The following section describes RADIUS Accounting.
See “TACACS+ Accounting Client Operation” on page B-4 for
information about TACACS+ Accounting.
