Note: The authentication method none you can specify for administrative access is
different from the fallthru authentication type none, which applies only to network
access. The authentication method none allows access to the RoamAbout switch by
an administrator. The fallthru authentication type none denies access to a network
user. (See “set service-profile auth-fallthru” on page 11-82.)
Formoreinformation,see“Usage.”
Note: Enterasys Networks recommends that you change the default setting unless the RoamAbout
switch is in a secure physical location.
