• You can specify three authentication methods in a single command to
indicate the authentication sequence. For example, if you enter
“authentication enable radius tacacs local,” the user name and password
on the RADIUS server is verified first. If the RADIUS server is not available,
then authentication is attempted on the TACACS+ server. If the TACACS+
server is not available, the local user name and password is checked.

RADIUS Client
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a logon authentication
protocol that uses software running on a central server to control access to
RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication server contains a
database of multiple user name/password pairs with associated privilege levels for
each user or group that require management access to a switch.
