key
: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the primary HWTACACS
accounting server. Make sure the shared key configured on the device is the same as the one configured
on the server.
•
cipher
key
: Sets a ciphertext shared key. The
key
argument is case sensitive. If you specify neither this keyword
nor the
simple
keyword, the shared key is set in plain text.

{
In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 8 to 373 characters.
•
simple

Description
Use the
primary accounting
command to specify the primary HWTACACS accounting server.
Use the
undo primary accounting
command to remove the configuration.
By default, no primary HWTACACS accounting server is specified.
The IP addresses of the primary and secondary accounting servers cannot be the same. Otherwise, the
configuration fails.
The shared key configured by using the
primary accounting
command takes precedence over the one
configured by using the
key accounting
[
cipher
|
simple
]
key
command.
The HWTACACS service port configured on the device and that of the HWTACACS server must be
consistent.
If you configure the command repeatedly, only the last configuration takes effect.
You can remove an accounting server only when it is not used by any active TCP connection to send
accounting packets.
