Configuring and Managing Access Rules for Administrative Users 321
To set the authentication method for administrator access
1 At the top of the Create Admin Access wizard, select Authentication. The
Authentication page appears.
2 To enable this authentication rule, select Enabled.
3 To select the authentication method, click Choose Available, then select
the method from the list:
■ RADIUS server group — A server group that you have configured
previously.
■ LOCAL — The WX switch’s local database.
You can add one or both methods to the list.
■ If you specify a RADIUS server group as the first method and a user is
denied access by the RADIUS server, no authentication and
authorization are attempted with the other methods specified in the
list.
■ If you specify LOCAL as the first method and a user is not in the local
user database on the WX, authentication and authorization are
attempted with a RADIUS server group if one is defined in the method
list.
The method you select for authentication is also used for authorization.
