server-pooling-mode

Configures the mode used to select the server from a pool of AAA servers. The available methods are failover and load-balance.

In the failover scenario, when a configured AAA server goes down, the server with the next higher index takes over for the failed server.

In the load-balance scenario, when a configured AAA server goes down, the remaining servers distribute the load amongst themselves.

Syntax

server-pooling-mode [failover|load-balance]

Parameters

server-pooling-mode [failover|load-balance]


failover	Sets the pooling mode to failover. This is the default setting. When a configured AAA server fails, the server with the next higher index takes over the failed server's load.
load-balance	Sets the pooling mode to load balancing. When a configured AAA server fails, all servers in the pool share the failed server's load, transmitting requests in a round-robin fashion.
