Secondary Authentication (Radius Scheme View) - HP FlexFabric 7900 Series Command Reference Manual

In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 64 characters and must contain digits, uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, and special characters.
Usage guidelines
Make sure that the port number and shared key settings of each secondary RADIUS accounting server
are the same as those configured on the corresponding server.
You can configure up to 16 secondary RADIUS accounting servers for a RADIUS scheme. 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 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 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. The device tries to communicate with an active server that has the highest priority for accounting.
If you remove an actively used accounting server, the device no longer sends users' real-time accounting
requests and stop-accounting requests, and does not buffer the stop-accounting requests.
For security purposes, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in
ciphertext.
Examples
# For RADIUS scheme radius1, specify a secondary accounting server with the IP address 10.1 10.1.1 and
the UDP port 1813.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius1
[Sysname-radius-radius1] secondary accounting 10.110.1.1 1813
# For RADIUS scheme radius2, specify two secondary accounting servers with the server IP addresses of
10.1 10.1.1 and 10.1 10.1.2 and the UDP port number of 1813.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] radius scheme radius2
[Sysname-radius-radius2] secondary accounting 10.110.1.1 1813
[Sysname-radius-radius2] secondary accounting 10.110.1.2 1813
