Command Reference Guide

228 CHAPTER 7: AAA COMMANDS
If a AAA rule specifies local as a secondary AAA method, to be used if the
RADIUS servers are unavailable, and MSS authenticates a client with the
local method, MSS starts again at the beginning of the method list when
attempting to authorize the client. This can cause unexpected delays
during client processing and can cause the client to time out before
completing logon.
Examples — The following command configures administrator Jose,
who connects via Telnet, for authentication on RADIUS server group sg3:
WX4400# set authentication admin Jose sg3
success: change accepted.
