RADIUS Accounting

The AT-S63 Management Software supports RADIUS accounting for ports
operating in the Authenticator role. The accounting information sent by the
switch to a RADIUS server includes the date and time when clients log on
and log off, as well as the number of packets sent and received by a switch
port during a client session. For background information, refer to the
AT-S63 Management Software Features Guide. This feature is disabled
by default on the switch.
