Operation  Command  Description 
Configure an AAA 
scheme for the ISP 
domain 
scheme { local  |  none | 
radius-scheme 
radius-scheme-name [ local  ] | 
hwtacacs-scheme 
hwtacacs-scheme-name [ local ] } 
Required 
By default, the ISP 
domain uses the 
local AAA 
scheme. 
Configure an RADIUS 
scheme for the ISP 
domain 
radius-scheme 
radius-scheme-name 
Optional 
This command has 
the same effect as 
the  scheme 
radius-scheme 
command. 
 
  Caution: 
z  You can execute the scheme command with the radius-scheme-name argument to 
adopt an already configured RADIUS scheme to implement all the three AAA 
functions. If you adopt the local scheme, only the authentication and authorization 
functions are implemented, the accounting function cannot be implemented. 
z  If you execute the scheme radius-scheme radius-scheme-name local command, 
the local scheme becomes the secondary scheme in case the RADIUS server does 
not response normally. That is, if the communication between the switch and the 
RADIUS server is normal, no local authentication is performed; otherwise, local 
authentication is performed. 
z  If you execute the scheme  hwtacacs-scheme  radius-scheme-name  local 
command, the local scheme becomes the secondary scheme in case the TACACS 
server does not respond normally. That is, if the communication between the switch 
and the TACACS server is normal, no local authentication is performed; otherwise, 
local authentication is performed. 
z  If you adopt local or none as the primary scheme, the local authentication is 
performed or no authentication is performed. In this case, you cannot perform 
RADIUS authentication at the same time. 
 
II. Configuring separate AAA schemes 
You can use the authentication,  authorization, and accounting  commands to 
specify a scheme for each of the three AAA functions (authentication, authorization and 
accounting) respectively. The following gives the implementations of this separate way 
for the services supported by AAA. 
z  For terminal users 
Authentication: RADIUS, local, RADIUS-local or none.
