Yes, I think that is the problem. Slightly ambiguous use of Primary first backup, and secondary terminology by 3COM. I am already using fall_through. I'll give your commands a try and see if the acctg packets to the "first backup" stop.

Check out the first 4 lines of "sh accounting". They show your "primary" and first/second "backup" servers. You obviously know how to set the primary already.... the first and second backups can be set by the commands: set accounting_backup primary first_server x.x.x.x set accounting_backup primary second_server x.x.x.x You may also like to check the "Authentication Algorithm" with "sh radius settings", and then adjust it with "set radius authentication_algorithm". Sounds to me like you need the fall_through option. -- Vance McIndoe Data Platforms, Operations, Telecom NZ Ltd. +64-6-3507004
scot@njaccess.net 20/06/00 12:57:45 >>> What is the difference between "Primary backup accounting server" and "Secondary accounting server" on the HARC?
I only want accounting packets to be sent to the secondary radius server when the primary is down. So, do I use the primary backup accounting server field? I am currently using the secondary accounting field, and that server is getting all requests even when the primary is functioning fine. -- Scot - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
