Configuring RADIUS

To disable authorization, use the no aaa authorization {network | exec} method1 global configuration
command.

Starting RADIUS Accounting

The AAA accounting feature tracks the services that users are accessing and the amount of network
resources that they are consuming. When AAA accounting is enabled, the ML-Series card reports user
activity to the RADIUS security server in the form of accounting records. Each accounting record
contains accounting attribute-value (AV) pairs and is stored on the security server. This data can then be
analyzed for network management, client billing, or auditing.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable RADIUS accounting for each
Cisco IOS privilege level and for network services:

To disable accounting, use the no aaa accounting {network | exec} start-stop method1... global
configuration command.

Configuring a nas-ip-address in the RADIUS Packet

The ML-Series card in RADIUS relay mode allows the user to configure a separate nas-ip-address for
each ML-Series card. In RADIUS standalone mode, this command is hidden in the Cisco IOS CLI.

This

allows the RADIUS server to distinguish among individual ML-Series card in the same ONS node.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router# configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

Router (config)# aaa authorization

network radius

Configure the ML-Series card for user RADIUS authorization for all
network-related service requests.

Step 3

Router (config)# aaa authorization

exec radius

Configure the ML-Series card for user RADIUS authorization if the user
has privileged EXEC access.

The exec keyword might return user profile information (such as
autocommand information).

Step 4

Router (config)# end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

Router# show running-config
