Parameters
host-name: Specifies the host name of a secondary RADIUS accounting server, a case-insensitive
string of 1 to 253 characters.
ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of a secondary RADIUS accounting server.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of a secondary RADIUS accounting server.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the secondary RADIUS accounting server. The
value range for the UDP port number is 1 to 65535. The default setting is 1813.
key: Specifies the shared key for secure communication with the secondary 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 secondary
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 each secondary RADIUS accounting server
are the same as those configured on the corresponding server.
A RADIUS scheme supports a maximum of 16 secondary RADIUS accounting servers. If the primary
server fails, the device tries to communicate with a secondary server in active state. The device
connects to the secondary servers in the order they are configured.
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 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 secondary accounting command to modify or delete a secondary accounting server
to which the device is sending a start-accounting request, communication with the secondary 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.
