129
• With neither the cipher keyword nor the cipher keyword specified, the key must be a plaintext string
of 1 to 64 characters, and the key is displayed in cipher text.
• In FIPS mode, the key must be a ciphertext string of at least 8 characters that must contain uppercase
letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters, and is encrypted and decrypted with the
3DES algorithm.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN to which the primary RADIUS
authentication/authorization server belongs, where vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to
31 characters. If the server is on the public network, do not specify this option.
Description
Use primary authentication to specify the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server.
Use undo primary authentication to remove the configuration.
By default, no primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server is specified.
The IP addresses of the authentication/authorization servers and those of the accounting servers must be
of the same IP version.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary authentication/authorization servers must be different
from each other. Otherwise, the configuration fails.
If the specified server resides on a VPN, specify the VPN by using the vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
option.
If you remove the primary authentication server when an authentication process is in progress, the
communication with the primary server times out, and the firewall looks for a server in active state from
the new primary server on.
NOTE:
• The shared key configured by this command takes precedence over that configured by using the key
authentication [ cipher | simple ]
key
command.
• The VPN specified by this command takes precedence over the VPN specified for the RADIUS scheme.

Examples
# For RADIUS scheme radius1, set the IP address of the primary authentication/authorization server to
10.110.1.1, the UDP port to 1812, and the shared key to the plaintext string hello, and specify to display
the key in cipher text.
