RADIUS Protocol Configuration Commands 293
Description
Use the state command to configure the state of a RADIUS server.
By default, in system scheme, the primary authentication/authorization and
accounting servers are in active state, and the secondary
authentication/authorization and accounting servers are in block state; in the
newly added RADIUS scheme, all RADIUS servers are in block state.
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.
Related command: radius scheme, primary authentication, secondary
authentication, primary accounting, secondary accounting.
Example
# Set the state of the secondary authentication server in the RADIUS scheme
"3com" to active.

Description
Use the stop-accounting-buffer enable command to enable the security
gateway to buffer the stop-accounting requests that have no responses.
Use the undo stop-accounting-buffer enable command to disable the security
gateway to buffer the stop-accounting requests that have no responses.
By default, the security gateway is enabled to buffer the stop-accounting requests
that have no responses.
Since the stop-accounting packet affects the charge to a user, it has importance
for both users and ISPs. Therefore, the NAS makes its best effort to send every
stop-accounting request to RADIUS accounting servers. If receiving no response
after a specified period of time, the NAS buffers and resends the packet until
