If you configure load balancing, MSS sends eachAAA request to a separate server, starting with the first one on the listand skipping unresponsive servers. If no server in the group responds,MSS moves to the next method configured with set authentication andset accounting.In contrast, if load balancing is not configured, MSS always begins withthe first server in the list and sends unfulfilled requests to eachsubsequent server in the group before moving on to the next configuredAAA method.
