Description

Configures port access accounting information that is captured for 802.1X and MAC-authenticated clients.

Defines port access accounting as being local (with the parameter local) (the default). Or defines port access accounting as being remote (with the parameter group <GROUP-NAME>) with a sequence of remote RADIUS servers in a single RADIUS server group to be accessed for port access accounting purposes.

For remote RADIUS port access accounting, the information is sent to the first reachable remote RADIUS server in the specified group. If a user-defined RADIUS server group is named in your command, it must exist.

The no form of this command works as follows:

  • no aaa accounting port-access: Globally unconfigures port access accounting.

  • no aaa accounting port-access local: Unconfigures local port access accounting.

  • no aaa accounting port-access group: Unconfigures remote port access accounting.

  • no aaa accounting port-access interim: Unconfigures interim accounting updates.
