purpose of aaa accounting connection

Hi All,

I want to understand the purpose of following command:

hostname(config)#aaa accounting {connection} {default} {start‐stop} {group‐tacacs+} [local‐case …]

Thanks in advance...

Have you checked the "Command Lookup Tool"

https://tools.cisco.com/Support/CLILookup/cltSearchAction.do

It is a pretty handy tool to research just about any Cisco commands out there for IOS, NX-OS and XE. Check it out and let us know if you still have questions about the "aaa accounting..." syntax

Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Hi Neno,

Never knew about this helpful link. Thanks for posting the link.

I got below information:

Connection- Keeps information about all outbound connections made from the router,
such as Telnet and rlogin

start-stop- Sends a start accounting notice at the beginning of a process and a stop
accounting notice at the end of a process. The user's process begins regardless.

local-case - Uses case-sensitive local username authentication
