Specifying the HWTACACS authentication servers
You can specify one primary authentication server and up to one secondary authentication server for an
HWTACACS scheme. When the primary server is not available, the secondary server is used, if any. In
a scenario where redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
Follow these steps to specify HWTACACS authentication servers for an HWTACACS scheme:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter HWTACACS scheme
view
hwtacacs scheme hwtacacs-scheme-name
—
Specify the primary
HWTACACS authentication
server
primary authentication ip-address
[ port-number | vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] *
Required
Configure at least one
command.
No authentication server is
specified by default.
Specify the secondary
HWTACACS authentication
server
secondary authentication ip-address
[ port-number | vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] *
NOTE:
• An HWTACACS server can function as the primary authentication server of one scheme and as the
secondary authentication server of another scheme at the same time.
• The IP addresses of the primary and secondary authentication servers cannot be the same. Otherwise,
the configuration fails.
• You can remove an authentication server only when no active TCP connection for sendin
authentication
packets is using it.
Specifying the HWTACACS authorization servers
You can specify one primary authorization server and up to one secondary authorization server for an
HWTACACS scheme. When the primary server is not available, the secondary server is used, if any. In
a scenario where redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
