Parameter
primary: Sets the state of the primary RADIUS server.
secondary: Sets the state of the secondary RADIUS server.
accounting: Sets the state of RADIUS accounting server.
authentication: Sets the state of RADIUS authentication/authorization server.
block: Sets state of the RADIUS server to block.
active: Sets state of the RADIUS server to active, namely the normal operation state.
Description
Use the state command to configure the state of a RADIUS server.
By default, all the RADIUS servers in every RADIUS scheme are in the state of active.
When the primary server (accounting or authentication) in a RADIUS scheme becomes
unavailable, the NAS automatically turns to the secondary server. After the primary one
recovers however, the NAS does not resume the communication with it at once; instead,
the NAS continues the communication with the secondary one and turns to the primary
one again only after the secondary one fails. To have the NAS communicate with the
primary server right after its recovery, you can manually set the state of the primary
server to active.
When both the primary and secondary servers are active or blocked, the NAS only
sends packets to the primary server.

authentication, primary accounting, secondary accounting.
Example
# Set the state of the secondary authentication server in the RADIUS scheme “huawei”
to active.
