4. (Optional) Configure Session Blocking and Interim
Updating Options
These optional parameters give you additional control over accounting data.
â– Updates: In addition to using a Start-Stop or Stop-Only trigger, you
can optionally configure the switch to send periodic accounting
record updates to a RADIUS server.
â– Suppress: The switch can suppress accounting for an unknown user
having no user name.
To continue the example in figure 6-22, suppose that you wanted the switch to:
â– Send updates every 10 minutes on in-progress accounting sessions.
â– Block accounting for unknown users (no username).
Figure 6-24. Example of Optional Accounting Update Period and Accounting Suppression on Unknown User

abled)
Syntax: [no] aaa accounting suppress null-username
Disables accounting for unknown users having no user-
name. (Default: suppression disabled)
