4.1.1 Port Authentication
Authentication is the process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and
password. The Serial Console supports various authentication options, such as Local,
RADIUS, to authenticate the users who access the serial port. Refer to page ___
When the authentication is set to Local, the Serial Console will use its own user list to
authenticate a user. If configured for RADIUS, the unit will request authentication from the
external authentication servers (i.e. RADIUS) Figure below conceptually illustrates the
