Default level
2: System level
Parameters
ip-address: Specifies the IP address of the primary HWTACACS accounting server, in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the primary HWTACACS accounting server. It ranges from 1 to 65535 and defaults to 49.
key [ cipher | simple ] key: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the primary HWTACACS accounting server.
cipher key: Sets a ciphertext shared key, which is a case-sensitive ciphertext string of 1 to 373 characters in non-FIPS mode and 8 to 373 characters in FIPS mode.
simple key: Sets a plaintext shared key, which is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 255 characters in non-FIPS mode and 8 to 255 characters that must include numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters in FIPS mode.
If neither cipher nor simple is specified, you set a plaintext shared key string.
Description
Use primary accounting to specify the primary HWTACACS accounting server.
Use undo primary accounting to remove the configuration.
By default, no primary HWTACACS accounting server is specified.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary accounting servers must be different. Otherwise, the configuration fails.
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the primary HWTACACS accounting server are the same as those configured on the server.
The shared key configured by using this command takes precedence over the shared key configured by using the key accounting [ cipher | simple ] key command. For secrecy, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
If you execute the command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.
You can remove an accounting server only when it is not used by any active TCP connection to send accounting packets. Removing an accounting server affects only accounting processes that occur after the remove operation.
