Description
Configure RADIUS accounting for security events by specifying the RADIUS accounting server.
Options

andbackup
options in the hierarchyedit security log stream radius idappr
to configure the primary and backup RADIUS servers for authentication event logging. These options provide redundancy in case the primary RADIUS server is unavailable, ensuring that authentication events can still be logged to the backup RADIUS server.RADIUS accounting supports all the eight streams and each stream can have both a primary and backup radius server.
Both the primary and backup RADIUS server shares same secret key and port number. Without a primary RADIUS server, you cannot configure the backup RADIUS server.
-
primary
— IP address of the primary RADIUS server. Configure the primary IP address to enableradius
stream. -
backup
— IP address of the backup RADIUS server. You can configure one backup RADIUS server per stream for the primary RADIUS server. The backup server handles log delivery if the primary server goes down.The backup server is optional. Backup server becomes active only if message delivery fails to primary server.
If the backup server becomes unavailable, disable the backup server to switch back to the primary server.
-
-
port
- Port number of the RADIUS server. Configure the port number that receives RADIUS accounting messages.-
Default: 1813
-
-
secret
- Configure a secret key on the RADIUS server. This secret key is used to calculate the MD5 hash for verifying the message's validity on the receiver side. The maximum length of the secret key is 256 characters.
