Parameters

accounting: Sets the status of the secondary RADIUS accounting server.

authentication: Sets the status of the secondary RADIUS authentication/authorization server.

ip ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the secondary RADIUS server.

ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the secondary RADIUS server.

active: Specifies the active state, the normal operation state.

block: Specifies the blocked state, the out-of-service state.

Description

Use state secondary to set the status of a secondary RADIUS server.

By default, every secondary RADIUS server specified in a RADIUS scheme is in active state.

If no IP address is specified, this command changes the status of all configured secondary servers for authentication/authorization or accounting.

If the switch finds that a secondary server in active state is unreachable, the switch changes the status of the secondary server to blocked, starts a quiet timer for the server, and continues to try to communicate with the next secondary server in active state (a secondary RADIUS server configured earlier has a higher priority). When the quiet timer of a server times out, the status of the server changes to active automatically. If you set the status of the server to blocked before the quiet timer times out, the status of the server cannot change back to active automatically unless you set the status to active manually. If all configured secondary servers are unreachable, the switch considers the authentication or accounting attempt a failure.
