View

Default level
2: System level
Parameters
accounting: Sets the status of the primary RADIUS accounting server.
authentication: Sets the status of the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server.
active: Specifies the active state, the normal operation state.
block: Specifies the blocked state, the out-of-service state.
Description
Use the state primary command to set the status of a primary RADIUS server.
By default, the primary RADIUS server specified for a RADIUS scheme is in the active state.
During an authentication or accounting process, the device first tries to communicate with the primary
server if the primary server is in the active state. If the primary server is unavailable, the device changes
the status of the primary server to blocked, starts a quiet timer for the server, and then tries to
communicate with a secondary server in the active state (a secondary RADIUS server configured earlier
has a higher priority). When the quiet timer of the primary 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.
When the primary server and secondary servers are both in the blocked state, the device communicates
with the primary server.
