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.

If you configure the command repeatedly, only the last 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.
