MGX Accounting with ACS3.1

[admin_2]

Hello all,

i wonder if anyone is familiar with aaa implementation on MGX ATM switches. The problem is with accounting. I use ACSv3.1 and MGX8850 with PXM45 and ver5.0.20.202 . Is accounting supported on MGX's?

Thanks

Hello,

TACACS+ feature as implemented on MGX does not include Accounting support. It supports Authentication and Authorization only.

Here you have the link to documentation where it is also mentioned:

### Note: In the current release, the accounting part of AAA is not available. ### (this covers all 5.X versions of MGX).

Unfortunately MGX doesn't send accounting messages to the TACACS+ server, thus ACS won't be able to log that Accounting information.

I couldn't see any future plan for implementing accounting as a part of TACACS+ on MGX.

Thanks,

German
