Default
No secondary RADIUS accounting server is specified.

Default command level
2: System level
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, which must
be a valid global unicast address.
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 ] key: Specifies the shared key for secure communication with the secondary
RADIUS accounting 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 secondary RADIUS accounting 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.
Usage guidelines
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the secondary RADIUS accounting server are the
same as those configured on the server.
You can configure up to 16 secondary RADIUS accounting servers for a RADIUS scheme. With the
configuration, if the primary server fails, the device looks for a secondary server in active state (a
secondary RADIUS accounting server configured earlier has a higher priority) and tries to communicate
with it.
The IP addresses of the accounting servers and those of the authentication/authorization servers must be
of the same IP version.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary accounting servers must be different from each other.
Otherwise, the configuration fails.
The shared key configured by this command takes precedence over that configured by using the key
accounting [ cipher | simple ] key command.
