provided in the panel to avail read-only access.
4. Click the Apply button to commit the authentication method for the switch.
5. Click the Revert button to rollback to the previous authentication configuration.
NOTE: The Radius configuration described in this section is independent of other Radius
Server configuration activities performed using other parts of the switch.

• None - No authentication
• Local - The user employs a local user authentication resource. This is the default
setting.
• Radius - Uses an external Radius Server.
Alternate Method Select an alternate method for authentication. This drop-down menu will not list
the option already selected as the preferred method. Select any of the remaining
authentication methods as an alternate method.
