Set Authentication Dot1X - Nortel 2300 Series Reference

Access Enabled..
Note.
The syntax descriptions for the set authentication commands have been
separated for clarity. However, the options and behavior for the set authentication
console command are the same as in previous releases.
Usage You can configure different authentication methods for different groups of users. (For details, see
"User Wildcards, MAC Address Wildcards, and VLAN Wildcards" on page
If you specify multiple authentication methods in the set authentication console command, WSS Software applies them
in the order in which they appear in the command, with these results:
• If the first method responds with pass or fail, the evaluation is final.
• If the first method does not respond, WSS Software tries the second method, and so on.
• However, if local appears first, followed by a RADIUS server group, WSS Software ignores any failed searches in
the local WSS database and sends an authentication request to the RADIUS server group.
Examples To set the console port so that it does not enforce username-password authentication for
administrators, type the following command:
WSS# set authentication console * none
success: change accepted.
