Login These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first and second) to authenticate
administrator accounts (users for Switch management).
Configure the local user accounts in the Access Control > Logins screen. The RADIUS is an
external server. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
You can specify up to two methods for the Switch to authenticate administrator accounts. The
Switch checks the methods in the order you configure them (first Method 1, and then Method
2). You must configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the Switch to check
another source for administrator accounts, specify them in the Method 2 field.
Select local to have the Switch check the administrator accounts configured in the Access
Control > Logins screen.
Select radius to have the Switch check the administrator accounts configured via your RADIUS
server.
Authorization Use this section to configure authorization settings on the Switch.
Type Set whether the Switch provides the following services to a user.
• Exec: Allow an administrator which logs into the Switch through Telnet or SSH to have a
different access privilege level assigned via the external server.
Active Select this to activate authorization for a specified event types.
Console Select this to allow an administrator which logs in the Switch through the console port to have
different access privilege level assigned via the external server.
Method RADIUS is the only method for authorization of the Exec type of service.
Accounting Use this section to configure accounting settings on the Switch.
Update Period This is the amount of time in minutes before the Switch sends an update to the accounting
server. This is only valid if you select the start-stop option for the Exec entries.
Type The Switch supports the following types of events to be sent to the accounting servers:
• System – Configure the Switch to send information when the following system events occur:
system boots up, system shuts down, system accounting is enabled, system accounting is
disabled.
• Exec – Configure the Switch to send information when an administrator logs in and logs out
via the console port, telnet or SSH.
Active Select this to activate accounting for a specified event types.
Broadcast Select this to have the Switch send accounting information to all configured accounting
servers at the same time.
If you do not select this and you have two accounting servers set up, then the Switch sends
information to the first accounting server and if it does not get a response from the accounting
server then it tries the second accounting server.
Mode The Switch supports two modes of recording login events. Select:
• start-stop – to have the Switch send information to the accounting server when a user begins
a session, during a user’s session (if it lasts past the Update Period
), and when a user ends a
ses
sion.
• stop-only – to have the Switch send information to the accounting server only when a user
ends a session.
Method RADIUS is the only method for recording System or Exec type of event.
Privilege This field is not configurable for System and Exec types of events.
