40.3.12 Setting RADIUS Server State
For the primary and secondary servers (no matter it is an authentication/authorization
server or accounting server), if the primary is disconnected to NAS for some fault, NAS
will automatically turn to exchange packets with the secondary server. However, after
the primary one recovers, NAS will not resume the communication with it at once,
instead, it continues communicating with the secondary one. When the secondary one
fails to communicate, NAS will turn to the primary one again. The following commands
can be used to set the primary server to be
active
manually, in order that NAS can
communicate with it right after the troubleshooting.
When the primary and secondary servers are both
active
or
block
, NAS will send the
packets to the primary server only.
Perform the following configuration in RADIUS scheme view.
