first-server
first-n n
Specifies that the AGW must send accounting data to
n
(more than one) AAA accounting servers based on
their priority. The full set of accounting data is sent to each of the
n
AAA servers. Response from any one of
the servers would suffice to proceed with the call. On receiving an ACK from any one of the accounting
servers, all retries are stopped.
servers, all retries are stopped.
n
is the number of AAA accounting servers to which accounting data will be sent, and must be an integer
from 2 through 128. Default: 1 (Disabled)
first-server
Specifies that the context must send accounting data to the RADIUS accounting server with the highest
configured priority. In the event that this server becomes unreachable, accounting data is sent to the
accounting server with the next-highest configured priority. This is the default algorithm.
configured priority. In the event that this server becomes unreachable, accounting data is sent to the
accounting server with the next-highest configured priority. This is the default algorithm.
round-robin
Specifies that the context must load balance sending accounting data among all of the defined RADIUS
accounting servers. Accounting data is sent in a circular queue fashion on a per Session Manager task basis,
where data is sent to the next available accounting server and restarts at the beginning of the list of configured
servers. The order of the list is based upon the configured relative priority of the servers.
