Authentication Method
This page allows you to configure how a user is authenticated when he logs into the switch via one
of the management client interfaces.
Object Description
Client The management client for which the configuration below applies.
Methods Method can be set to one of the following values:
• no: Authentication is disabled and login is not possible.
• local: Use the local user database on the switch for authentication.
• radius: Use remote RADIUS server(s) for authentication.
• tacacs+: Use remote TACACS+ server(s) for authentication.
Methods that involve remote servers are timed out if the remote servers are offline. In this case the
next method is tried. Each method is tried from left to right and continues until a method either
approves or rejects a user. If a remote server is used for primary authentication it is recommended
to configure secondary authentication as ‘local’. This will enable the management client to login via
the local user database if none of the configured authentication servers are alive.
