If the primary server recovers, the switchimmediately restores the communication with the primary server instead ofcommunicating with the secondary server, and at the same time restores the status ofthe primary server to the active state while keeping the status of the secondary serverunchanged.When both the primary and secondary servers are in active or block state, the switchsends packets to the primary server only.Table 1-18 Set the status of RADIUS serversTo do...
