Usage guidelines
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the secondary RADIUS accounting server are the
same as those configured on the server.
You can configure up to 16 secondary RADIUS accounting servers for a RADIUS scheme. After the
configuration, if the primary server fails, the device looks for a secondary server in active state (a
secondary RADIUS accounting server configured earlier has a higher priority) and tries to communicate
with it.
The IP addresses of the accounting servers and those of the authentication/authorization servers must be
of the same IP version.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary accounting servers must be different from each other.
Otherwise, the configuration fails.
The shared key configured by this command takes precedence over that configured by using the key
accounting [ cipher | simple ] key command.
If the specified server resides on a VPN, specify the VPN by using the vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
option. The VPN specified by this command takes precedence over the VPN specified for the RADIUS
scheme.
If you remove a secondary accounting server when the device has already sent a start-accounting
request to the server, the communication with the secondary server times out, and the device looks for a
server in active state from the primary server on.
If you remove an accounting server being used by online users, the device can no longer send real-time
accounting requests or stop-accounting requests for the users, and it does not buffer the stop-accounting
requests.
For secrecy, all shared keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
Examples
# For RADIUS scheme radius1, specify two secondary accounting servers with the server IP addresses of
10.110 .1.1 a n d 10 .110.1.2 and the UDP port number of 1813. Set the shared keys to hello in plain text.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] secondary accounting 10.110.1.1 1813 key hello
[Sysname-radius-radius1] secondary accounting 10.110.1.2 1813 key hello
# For RADIUS scheme radius2, set the IP address of the secondary accounting server to 10.110 .1.1, t h e
UDP port to 1813, and the shared key to $c$3$NMCbVjyIutaV6csCOGp4zsKRTlg2eT3B in cipher text.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius2
[Sysname-radius-radius2] secondary accounting 10.110.1.1 1813 key cipher
