RADIUS Protocol Configuration Commands 391 state Syntax state { primary | secondary } { accounting | authentication } { block | active } View RADIUS Scheme View Parameter primary: Configures to set the state of the primary RADIUS server. secondary: Configures to set the state of the second RADIUS server. accounting: Configures to set the state of RADIUS accounting server. 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 "default 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.
