Dell PowerConnect 5324 User Manual

Introduction 27
RADIUS Client
RADIUS is a client/server-based protocol. A RADIUS server maintains a user database, which
contains per-user authentication information, such as user name, password and accounting
information.
For more information, see "Configuring RADIUS Global Parameters".
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a device. SSH version
1 is currently available. The SSH server feature enables an SSH client to establish a secure,
encrypted connection with a device. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an
inbound telnet connection. SSH uses RSA Public Key cryptography for device connections and
authentication.
TACACS+
TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the device. TACACS+
provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and
other authentication processes.
For more information, see "Defining TACACS+ Settings".
Additional CLI Documentation
The CLI Reference Guide, which is available on the Documentation CD, provides information
about the CLI commands used to configure the device. The document provides information
including the CLI description, syntax, default values, guidelines, and examples.
