HP 3600 v2 Series Configuration Guide

Specifying the HWTACACS authorization servers
You can specify one primary authorization server and up to 16 secondary authorization servers for an
HWTACACS scheme. When the primary server is not available, the switch searches for the secondary
servers in the order they are configured. The first secondary server in active state is used for
communication.
If redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
Follow these guidelines when you specify HWTACACS authorization servers:
• An HWTACACS server can function as the primary authorization server of one scheme and as a
secondary authorization server of another scheme at the same time.
• The IP addresses of the primary and secondary authorization servers cannot be the same.
Otherwise, the configuration fails.
• You can remove an authorization server only when no active TCP connection for sending
authorization packets is using it.
To specify HWTACACS authorization servers for an HWTACACS scheme:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter HWTACACS
scheme view.
hwtacacs scheme
hwtacacs-scheme-name
N/A
3. Specify HWTACACS
authorization servers.
• Specify the primary HWTACACS
authorization server:
primary authorization ip-address
[ port-number | key [ cipher |
simple ] key | vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] *
• Specify a secondary HWTACACS
authorization server:
secondary authorization ip-address
[ port-number | key [ cipher |
simple ] key | vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] *
Configure at least one command.
No authorization server is
specified by default.
Specifying the HWTACACS accounting servers and the relevant parameters
You can specify one primary accounting server and up to 16 secondary accounting servers for an
HWTACACS scheme. When the primary server is not available, the switch searches for the secondary
servers in the order they are configured. The first secondary server in active state is used for
communication.
If redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
When the switch receives a connection teardown request from a host or a connection teardown
command from an administrator, it sends a stop-accounting request to the accounting server. You can
enable buffering of non-responded stop-accounting requests to allow the switch to buffer and resend a
stop-accounting request until it receives a response or the number of stop-accounting attempts reaches
the configured limit. In the latter case, the switch discards the packet.
Follow these guidelines when you specify HWTACACS accounting servers:
• An HWTACACS server can function as the primary accounting server of one scheme and as a
secondary accounting server of another scheme at the same time.
