Specifying the HWTACACS authorization servers
You can specify one primary authorization server and up to one secondary authorization server for an
HWTACACS scheme so that the NAS can find a server for user authorization when using the scheme.
When the primary server is not available, the secondary server is used, if there is one. In a scenario
where redundancy is not required, specify only the primary server.
An HWTACACS server can function as the primary authorization server of one scheme and as the
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.

Specifying the HWTACACS accounting servers and the relevant parameters
You can specify one primary accounting server and up to one secondary accounting server for an
HWTACACS scheme so that the NAS can find a server for user accounting when using the scheme.
When the primary server is not available, the secondary server is used, if there is one. In a scenario
where 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. The switch continues resending the request until it receives a response or until
