Login Authentication
Moxa switches provide two different user login options: Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System Plus
(TACACS+) and Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS). The TACACS+ and RADIUS mechanism
is a centralized “AAA” (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) system for connecting to network
services. The fundamental purpose of both TACACS+ and RADIUS is to provide an efficient and secure
mechanism for user account management.
