Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If the primary server is unavailable, the device automatically switches services to the standby server and sends packets to the standby server. After the quiet interval before the primary server reverts to the active state expires, the device attempts to establish a connection with the primary server.

If the primary server is still unavailable, the device continues to send packets to the standby server until the next interval expires. Such a process repeats.
If the primary server is available, the device switches services to the primary server and sends packets to the primary server.

The quiet interval before the primary server reverts to the active state ensures that the primary server can be restored immediately and reduces the number of detection times during the switchover.

The default value is recommended.

Precautions

When the quiet interval of the active server is set to 0, if the active server fails, the device sends packets to the standby server. When the active server is recovered, the device does not connect to the active server, but still sends packets to the standby server until the standby server fails.

When you run the hwtacacs-server timer quiet command to change the quiet interval before the primary server reverts to the active state, the device does not check whether the HWTACACS server template is in use.

Example

# Set the quiet interval before the primary server reverts to the active state to 3 minutes.
