Parameter
primary: Configures to set the state of the primary RADIUS server.
secondary: Configures to set the state of the secondary RADIUS server.
accounting: Configures to set the state of RADIUS accounting server.
authentication: Configures to set the state of RADIUS authentication/authorization.
block: Configures the RADIUS server to be in the state of block.
active: Configures the RADIUS server to be active, namely the normal operation state.
Description
Use the state command to configure the state of RADIUS server.
By default, all the RADIUS servers in every RADIUS scheme are in the state of active.
For the primary and secondary servers (no matter an authentication/authorization or an
accounting server), if the primary server is disconnected to NAS for some fault, NAS
will automatically turn to exchange packets with the secondary server. However, after
the primary one recovers, NAS will not resume the communication with it at once,
instead, it continues communicating with the secondary one. When the secondary one
fails to communicate, NAS will turn to the primary one again. This command is used to
set the primary server to be active manually, in order that NAS can communicate with it
right after the troubleshooting.
When the primary and secondary servers are all active or block, NAS will send the
packets to the primary server only.

authentication, primary accounting, secondary accounting.
Example
# Set the secondary authentication server of RADIUS scheme, “huawei”, to be Active.
