Specifying the HWTACACS authentication servers
You can specify one primary authentication server and up to one secondary authentication server for an
HWTACACS scheme so that the NAS can find a server for user authentication when using the scheme.
When the primary server is not available, the secondary server is used, if there is one. In a scenario
where redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
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 sending authentication
packets is using it.
