options:

Suppressing Accounting
You can configure the system to suppress accounting when an unknown user with no username accesses
the switch by using the set accounting suppress null-username enable command.
Note
RADIUS and TACACS+ accounting are the same, except that RADIUS does not do command
accounting, periodic updates, or allow null-username suppression.

Newinfo—Sends accounting information to the server only when new accounting information
becomes available.
Periodic—Sends accounting update records at regular intervals. This option can be used to keep
up-to-date connection and session information even if the NAS restarts and loses the initial start
time. You must set a time lapse between periodic updates. Valid intervals are from 1 to
71582 minutes.
