RADIUS Accounting

Dell EMC Networking OS supports Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol to transmit the RADIUS accounting messages between a Network Access Server (NAS) and an accounting server.

NAS reports the user activity to the accounting server (RADIUS or TACACS+) with accounting records. The RADIUS accounting server stores the accounting records, which is used for network management, auditing, etc.

Dell EMC Networking OS complies with RFC2866 for RADIUS Accounting.

NAS receives the accounting request from the supplicant and sends the RADIUS request packet to the accounting server after successful authentication. The RADIUS Accounting request contains a RADIUS Acct-Status-Type as Start or Stop to update the supplicant session to the accounting server.

NOTE In RADIUS accounting, fallback behavior among RADIUS and TACACS servers is not supported as the RADIUS accounting feature is not available in Dell EMC Networking OS version earlier than 9.14.1.5.

In VLT domain, the NAS sends the RADIUS Accounting Request packets only if the NAS is configured as a VLT primary peer.
