Managing the Internal Database
You can create entries in the switch’s internal database to authenticate clients. The internal database contains a
list of clients, along with the password and default role for each client. When you configure the internal
database as an authentication server, client information is checked in incoming authentication requests against
the internal database.
Configuring the Internal Database
The master switch uses the internal database for authentication by default. You can choose to use the internal
database in a local switch by entering the CLI command aaa authentication-server internal use-local-
switch. If you use the internal database in a local switch, you need to add clients on the local switch.
.
Table 50 defines the required and optional parameters used in the internal database.
