Usage guidelines
When the RADIUS client service is disabled:
• No more stop-accounting requests of online users cannot be sent out or buffered, and the RADIUS
server can no longer receive logoff requests from online users. After a user goes offline, the RADIUS
server still has the user's record during a certain period of time.
• The buffered accounting packets cannot be sent out and are deleted from the buffer when the
configured maximum number of attempts is reached, affecting the precision of user accounting.
• If local authentication, authorization, or accounting is configured as the backup, the device
performs local authentication, authorization, or accounting instead after the RADIUS request fails.
Local accounting is only for monitoring and controlling the number of local user connections. It does
not provide the statistics function that the accounting feature generally provides.

Parameters
ipv4-address: IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. It must be an address of the device and cannot
be 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, a class D address, or a class E address.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies an IPv6 address. It must be a unicast address of the device and cannot be
a link-local address.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN to which the source IPv4 address belongs. The
vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. With a VPN specified, the
command specifies a private-network source IPv4 address. With no VPN specified, the command
specifies a public-network source IPv4 address.
Usage guidelines
You can specify up to one public-network source IP address and 15 private-network source IP addresses.
A newly specified public-network source IP address overwrites the previous one. Each VPN can have only
