secondary accounting (HWTACACS scheme view)
Syntax
secondary accounting ip-address [ port-number | key [ cipher | simple ] key ] *
undo secondary accounting [ ip-address ]
View
HWTACACS scheme view
Default level
2: System level
Parameters
ip-address: Specifies the IP address of the secondary HWTACACS accounting server, in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the secondary 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 secondary 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 secondary accounting to specify a secondary HWTACACS accounting server.
Use undo secondary accounting to remove a secondary HWTACACS accounting server.
By default, no secondary HWTACACS accounting server is specified.
You can configure up to 16 secondary HWTACACS accounting servers for an HWTACACS scheme. If the primary server fails, the switch tries to communicate with a secondary server in active state. The switch connects to the secondary servers in the order they are configured.
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 a secondary 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.
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.
If you do not specify the ip-address argument for the undo secondary accounting command, the command removes all secondary HWTACACS accounting servers from the scheme.
