1.4.7 Configuring the Status of RADIUS Servers

For the primary and secondary servers (authentication/authorization servers, or
accounting servers) in a RADIUS scheme:
When the switch fails to communicate with the primary server due to some server
trouble, the switch will actively exchange packets with the secondary server.
After the time the primary server keeps in the block state exceeds the time set with the
timer quiet command, the switch will try to communicate with the primary server again
when it receives a RADIUS request. If the primary server recovers, the switch
immediately restores the communication with the primary server instead of
communicating with the secondary server, and at the same time restores the status of
the primary server to the active state while keeping the status of the secondary server
unchanged.
When both the primary and secondary servers are in active or block state, the switch
sends packets only to the primary server.
