(Method 1/2/3 setting in the Privilege Enable and Login fields).
• Authorization information configured for Authorization in the SECURITY > AAA > AAA Setup screen
(Active/Console/Method setting in the Exec and Dot1x fields).
• Server information configured for Authentication Server in the SECURITY > AAA > RADIUS Server Setup
screen, and for Authentication Server in the SECURITY > AAA > TACACS+ Server Setup screen (Mode/
Timeout fields).
• System account information configured in the Switch (admin, user login name, and password).
• SNMP user account information configured in the SYSTEM > SNMP > SNMP User screen (password for
SNMP user authentication in the Authentication field, and the password for the encryption method for
