RADIUS Protocol Configuration Commands 287
authentication: Configures to set the state of RADIUS
authentication/authorization.
block: Configures the RADIUS server to be in the state of block.
active: Configures the RADIUS server to be active, namely the normal
operation state.
Description
Use the state command to configure the state of RADIUS server.
By default, as for the newly created RADIUS scheme, the primary and secondary
accounting/authentication servers are in the state of
block; as for the "system"
RADIUS scheme created by the system, the primary accounting/authentication
servers are in the state of
active, and the secondary accounting/authentication
servers are in the state of
block.
For the primary and second servers (no matter an authentication/authorization or
an accounting server), if the primary server is disconnected to NAS for some fault,
NAS will automatically turn to exchange packets with the second server. However,
after the primary one recovers, NAS will not resume the communication with it at
once, instead, it continues communicating with the second one. When the second
one fails to communicate, NAS will turn to the primary one again. This command
is 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 second servers are all active or block, NAS will send the
packets to the primary server only.
Related commands: radius scheme, primary authentication, secondary
authentication
