Usage
Information
Dell Networking OS issues accounting records for all users on the system, including users whose
username string, due to protocol translation, is NULL. For example, a user who comes on line with the
aaa authentication login method-list none command is applied. To prevent the accounting
records from being generated for sessions that do not have user names associated to them, use the aaa
accounting suppress command.
