Configuring AAA Accounting Default Methods
The Nexus 5000 Series switch supports TACACS+ and RADIUS methods for accounting. The switches
report user activity to TACACS+ or RADIUS security servers in the form of accounting records. Each
accounting record contains accounting attribute-value (AV) pairs and is stored on the AAA server.
When you activate AAA accounting, the Nexus 5000 Series switch reports these attributes as accounting
records, which are then stored in an accounting log on the security server.
You can create default method lists defining specific accounting methods, which include the following:.
•
•
•
Note
If you have configured server groups and the server groups do not respond, by default the local database
is used for authentication.
Before you configure AAA accounting default methods, configure RADIUS or TACACS+ server groups
as needed.
To configure AAA accounting default methods, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Step 2
switch(config)# aaa accounting default
{group group-list | local}
Step 3
switch(config)# exit
Step 4
switch# show aaa accounting
Step 5
switch# copy running-config startup-config
