To configure command accounting:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter user line view or user line class view.

  • Enter user line view: line { first-number1 [ last-number1 ] | { aux | vty } first-number2 [ last-number2 ] }

  • Enter user line class view:line class { aux | vty }

A setting in user line view is applied only to the user line. A setting in user line class view is applied to all user lines of the class.

A non-default setting in either view takes precedence over a default setting in the other view. A non-default setting in user line view takes precedence over a non-default setting in user line class view.

A setting in user line view takes effect immediately and affects the online user. A setting in user line class view does not affect online users and takes effect only for new login users.

3. Enable scheme authentication.

authentication-mode scheme

By default, authentication is disabled for AUX lines, and password authentication is enabled for VTY lines.

In VTY line view, this command is associated with the protocol inbound command. If you specify a non-default value for only one of the two commands in VTY line view, the other command uses the default setting, regardless of the setting in VTY line class view.

4. Enable command accounting.

command accounting

By default, command accounting is disabled, and the accounting server does not record the commands executed by users.

If the command accounting command is configured in user line class view, command accounting is enabled on all user lines in the class. You cannot configure the undo command accounting command in the view of a user line in the class.
