Re: password failover

"

A FAIL response is significantly different from an ERROR. A FAIL means that the user has not met the criteria contained in the applicable authentication database to be successfully authenticated. Authentication ends with a FAIL response. An ERROR means that the security server has not responded to an authentication query. Because of this, no authentication has been attempted. Only when an ERROR is detected will AAA select the next authentication method defined in the authentication method list."

Hello,

How do I set up a freeradius server so that if the password fails for
the primary radius server it tries the secondary for the password. In
my scenario, the primary is up and servicing requests, but the
password for the device is incorrect. Now the device looks to the
secondary to get authorized and the secondary holds the correct secret
for the device.

I have looked at fail-over and load-balancing but am not sure if
either of these are what I am looking for. Can someone tell me what I
am looking for and I can do the rest.

Thanks for any help,

Jon
