Description
Use the
state
command to set the status of a RADIUS server.
By default, all the RADIUS servers in a user-defined RADIUS scheme are in the
block
state; and the primary RADIUS servers in the default RADIUS scheme
"system" are in the
active
state, secondary RADIUS servers are in the
block
state.
For the primary and secondary servers (authentication/authorization servers, or
accounting servers) in a RADIUS scheme, note that:
z
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.
z
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 has 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
