Parameters
ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the secondary RADIUS accounting server.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the secondary RADIUS accounting server.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the secondary RADIUS accounting server. The value
range for the UDP port number is 1 to 65535, and the default setting is 1813.
key { cipher | simple } string: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the secondary RADIUS
accounting server.
• cipher string: Sets a ciphertext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive.
{ In non-FIPS mode, the key is a string of 1 to 117 cha r a c t e rs.
{ In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 117 c h arac t e r s .
• simple string: Sets a plaintext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive.
{ In non-FIPS mode, the key is a string of 1 to 64 characters.
{ In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 64 characters. The string must contain digits, uppercase
letters, lowercase letters, and special characters.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN to which the secondary RADIUS accounting
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.
Usage guidelines
Make sure that the port number and shared key settings of each secondary RADIUS accounting server
are the same as those configured on the corresponding server.
You can configure up to 16 secondary RADIUS accounting servers for a RADIUS scheme. If the primary
server fails, the device tries to communicate with a secondary server in active state. The device connects
to the secondary servers in the order they are configured.
Two accounting servers specified for a scheme, primary or secondary, cannot have identical IP address,
port number, and VPN settings.
The shared key configured by this command takes precedence over the shared key configured with the
key accounting command.
If the specified server resides on an MPLS L3VPN, 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 use the secondary accounting command to modify or delete a secondary accounting server to
which the device is sending a start-accounting request, communication with the secondary server times
out. The device tries to communicate with an active server that has the highest priority for accounting.
If you remove an actively used accounting server, the device no longer sends users' real-time accounting
requests and stop-accounting requests. The device does not buffer the stop-accounting requests, either.
For security purposes, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in
ciphertext.
