Parameters
ipv4-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the primary RADIUS accounting server.
ipv6 ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the primary RADIUS accounting server.
port-number: Specifies the service port number of the primary RADIUS accounting server, a UDP port
number in the range of 1 to 65535. The default setting is 1813.
key { cipher | simple } string: Sets the shared key for secure communication with the primary RADIUS
accounting server.
• cipher string: Sets a ciphertext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive. In non-FIPS mode,
the key is a string of 1 to 117 characters. In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 117 characters.
• simple string: Sets a plaintext shared key. The string argument is case sensitive. In non-FIPS mode,
the key is a string of 1 to 64 characters. In FIPS mode, the key is a string of 15 to 64 characters and
must contain numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN to which the primary RADIUS accounting
server belongs, where vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the server is
on the public network, do not specify this option.
Usage guidelines
Make sure the port number and shared key settings of the primary RADIUS accounting server are the
same as those configured on the server.
Two accounting servers specified for a scheme, primary or secondary, cannot have identical IP address,
port number, and VPN settings.
The shared key configured by using this command takes precedence over the shared key configured by
using the key accounting command.
If the specified server resides on an MPLS L3VPN, specify the VPN by using the vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name option. The VPN specified by this command takes precedence over the VPN
specified for the RADIUS scheme.
If you use the primary accounting command to modify or delete the primary accounting server to which
the device is sending a start-accounting request, communication with the primary server times out, and
the device looks for an active server with the highest priority for accounting.
If you remove an actively used accounting server, the device no longer sends users' real-time accounting
requests and stop-accounting requests, and does not buffer the stop-accounting requests. The device can
generate incorrect accounting results.
