Authentication Commands
You can configure this switch to authenticate users logging into the system
for management access using local, RADIUS, or TACACS authentication
methods. You can also enable port-based authentication for network client
access using IEEE 802.1x.
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) and Terminal
Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+) are logon
authentication protocols that use software running on a central server to
control access to RADIUS-aware or TACACS+-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.
The switch supports IEEE 802.1x (dot1x) port-based access control that
prevents unauthorized access to the network by requiring users to first
submit credentials for authentication. Client authentication is controlled
centrally by an authentication server using EAP (Extensible
Authentication Protocol).
