Parameters
ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the secondary accounting server, in dotted decimal notation.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the secondary accounting server.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the secondary RADIUS accounting server, which is a
UDP port number in the range of 1 to 65535 and defaults to 1813.
key [ cipher | simple ] key: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the secondary RADIUS
accounting server.
cipher key: Sets a ciphertext shared key, which is a case-sensitive ciphertext string of 1 to 1 17
characters.
simple key: Sets a plaintext shared key, which is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 64 characters.
If neither cipher nor simple is specified, you set a plaintext shared key string.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN to which the secondary RADIUS accounting
server belongs, where vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the server is
on the public network, do not specify this option.
Description
Use secondary accounting to specify secondary RADIUS accounting servers for a RADIUS scheme.
Use undo secondary accounting to remove a secondary RADIUS accounting server.
By default, no secondary RADIUS accounting server is specified.
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the secondary RADIUS accounting server are the
same as those configured on the server.
You can configure up to 16 secondary RADIUS accounting servers for a RADIUS scheme by executing
this command repeatedly. After the configuration, if the primary server fails, the switch looks for a
secondary server in active state (a secondary RADIUS accounting server configured earlier has a higher
priority) and tries to communicate with it.
The IP addresses of the accounting servers and those of the authentication/authorization servers must be
of the same IP version.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary accounting servers must be different from each other and
use the same IP version. Otherwise, the configuration fails.
The shared key configured by this command takes precedence over that configured by using the key
accounting [ cipher | simple ] key command.
If the specified server resides on an MPLS VPN, specify the VPN by using the vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name option. The VPN specified by this command takes precedence over the VPN specified
for the RADIUS scheme.
If you remove a secondary accounting server when the switch has already sent a start-accounting request
to the server, the communication with the secondary server times out, and the switch looks for a server in
active state from the primary server on.
If you remove an accounting server being used by online users, the switch no longer sends real-time
accounting or stop-accounting requests for the users, and does not buffer the stop-accounting requests.
For secrecy, all shared keys, including shared keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
