Description When the primary server (accounting or authentication) in a RADIUS scheme becomes
unavailable, the NAS automatically turns to the secondary server. After the primary
one recovers however, the NAS does not resume the communication with it at once;
instead, the NAS continues the communication with the secondary one and turns to
the primary one again only after the secondary one fails. To have the NAS
communicate with the primary server right after its recovery, you can manually set the
state of the primary server to active.
When both the primary and secondary servers are active or blocked, the NAS only
sends packets to the primary server.
