HP FlexNetwork 7500 Series Command Reference Manual page 103

key: Specifies the shared key for secure communication with the primary RADIUS accounting
server.
cipher: Specifies the key in encrypted form.
simple: Specifies the key in plaintext form. For security purposes, the key specified in plaintext form
will be stored in encrypted form.
string: Specifies the key. This argument is case sensitive.
•
In non-FIPS mode, the encrypted form of the key is a string of 1 to 117 characters. The plaintext
form of the key is a string of 1 to 64 characters.
•
In FIPS mode, the encrypted form of the key is a string of 15 to 117 characters. The plaintext
form of the key is a string of 15 to 64 characters. The plaintext string must contain digits,
uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance to which the primary
RADIUS accounting server belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1
to 31 characters. If the server is on the public network, do not specify this option.
weight weight-value: Specifies a weight value for the RADIUS server. The value range for the
weight-value argument is 0 to 100, and the default value is 0. The value 0 indicates that the RADIUS
server will not be used for load sharing. This option takes effect only when the RADIUS server load
sharing feature is enabled for the RADIUS scheme. A larger weight value represents a higher
capacity to process accounting requests.
Usage guidelines
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the primary RADIUS accounting server are
the same as those configured on the server.
Two accounting servers specified for a scheme, primary or secondary, cannot have identical VPN
instance, host name, IP address, and port number settings.
The shared key configured by using this command takes precedence over the shared key configured
with the key accounting command.
If the specified server resides on an MPLS L3VPN, specify the VPN instance by using the
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name option. The VPN instance specified by this command takes
precedence over the VPN instance specified for the RADIUS scheme.
If you use the primary accounting command to modify or delete the primary accounting server to
which the device is sending a start-accounting request, communication with the primary server times
out.
•
When the RADIUS server load sharing feature is disabled, the device tries to communicate with
an active server that has the highest priority for accounting.
•
When the RADIUS server load sharing feature is enabled, the device returns an accounting
failure message rather than searching for another active accounting server.
If you remove an actively used accounting server, the device no longer sends users' real-time
accounting requests and stop-accounting requests. It does not buffer the stop-accounting requests.
The device can generate incorrect accounting results.
Examples
# In RADIUS scheme radius1, specify the primary accounting server with IP address 10.110.1.2,
UDP port number 1813, and plaintext shared key 123456TESTacct&!.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] primary accounting 10.110.1.2 1813 key simple 123456TESTacct&!
