Parameters
ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server,
which must be a valid global unicast address.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization
server. The value range for the UDP port number is 1 to 65535, and the default setting is 1812.
key [ cipher | simple ] key: Specifies the shared key for secure communication with the primary RADIUS
authentication/authorization server. In FIPS mode, you cannot set a plaintext key, and the key must
contain at least 8 characters comprising uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
In FIPS mode, a key is encrypted and decrypted by using the 3DES algorithm.
• cipher key: Specifies a ciphertext shared key, a case-sensitive ciphertext string of 1 to 117
characters.
• simple key: Specifies a plaintext shared key, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 64 characters.
• If neither cipher nor simple is specified, you set a plaintext shared key string.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN to which the primary RADIUS
authentication/authorization server belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string
of 1 to 31 characters. If the server is on the public network, do not specify this option.
probe: Enables the device to detect the status of the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server.
username name: Specifies the username in the authentication request for server status detection.
interval interval: Specifies the detection interval in minutes. The value range for the interval argument is
1 to 3600, and the default setting is 60 minutes.
Usage guidelines
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization
server are the same as those configured on the server.
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.
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 device looks for a server in active state from the
new primary server on.
For security purposes, all shared keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
