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.
