Parameter Description Value for This
Example
s1.authtype There are several authentication type options: local (authentication is
performed using the /etc/passwd file), radius (authentication is
performed using a Radius authentication server), TacacsPlus
(authentication is performed using a TacacsPlus authentication
server), none, local/radius (authentication is performed locally first,
switching to Radius if unsuccessful), radius/local (the opposite of the
previous option), RadiusDownLocal (local authentication is tried only
when the Radius server is down), local/TacacsPlus (authentication is
performed locally first, switching to TacacsPlus if unsuccessful),
TacacsPlus/local (the opposite of the previous option),
TacacsPlusDownLocal (local authentication is tried only when the
TacacsPlus server is down). Note that this parameter controls the
authentication required by the Cyclades-TS. The authentication
required by the device to which the user is connecting is controlled
separately.
Note: if the sniff session feature is used for a specific port, authtype
parameter must not be set to none. If none is chosen, any user can
open a sniff session and/or cancel sessions of other users for this port.
