Authentication Method Configuration
The authentication section allows you to configure how a user is authenticated when he logs into the
switch via one of the management client interfaces.
Setting Description
Client The management client for which the configuration below applies.
Methods
Method can be set to one of the following values:
no: Authentication is disabled and login is not possible.
local: Use the local user database on the switch for authentication.
radius: Use remote RADIUS server(s) for authentication.
tacacs: Use remote TACACS+ server(s) for authentication.
Methods that involve remote servers are timed out if the remote servers are offline.
In this case the next method is tried. Each method is tried from left to right and
continues until a method either approves or rejects a user. If a remote server is
used for primary authentication it is recommended to configure secondary
authentication as ‘local’. This will enable the management client to login via the
local user database if none of the configured authentica
tion servers are alive.
