1.8 Security Features
Supermicro switches support four methods of user authentication:
• RADIUS – Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) uses AAA service for ID
verification, granting access and tracking the actions of remote users.
• TACACS – Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS) provides accounting
information and administrative control for authentication and authorization. RADIUS encrypts
only passwords, whereas TACACS encrypts usernames as well, making it more secure.
