HP recommends that you specify only the primary RADIUS authentication/authorization server if backup
•
is not required.
If both the primary and secondary authentication/authorization servers are specified, the secondary one
•
is used when the primary one is unreachable.
In practice, you may specify one RADIUS server as the primary authentication/authorization server and
•
up to 16 RADIUS servers as the secondary authentication/authorization servers, or specify a RADIUS
server as the primary authentication/authorization server for a scheme and as the secondary
authentication/authorization server for another scheme at the same time.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary authentication/authorization servers for a scheme must be
•
different from each other. Otherwise, the configuration fails.
All servers for authentication/authorization and accountings, primary or secondary, must use IP
•
addresses of the same IP version.

primary accounting { ip-address [
port-number | key string | vpn-

ipv6 ipv6-address [ port-number |
key string] * }
secondary accounting { ip-address
[ port-number | key string | vpn-
