24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE

Admin Tab - User Authentication

The Switch supports up to 5 user names and passwords for management access (console and web interfaces).
The default user name is "admin" with no password. You should therefore assign a new password for the
"admin" user account and store it in a safe place. The default "admin" account cannot be deleted from the
system.
As well as the default "admin" account, up to five other user-defined accounts can be created on the Switch. To
create a new user account, enter a user name and password up to eight characters long, confirm the password,
and then click Add.
To change the password for a specific user, select the user name from the list, enter the new password, confirm
the password by entering it again, and then click Update.
User Name. Displays the user name.
Password. Specifies the new password. The password is not displayed. As it entered an "*" corresponding to
each character is displayed in the field. (Range: 1-159 characters)
Confirm Password. Confirms the new password. The password entered into this field must be exactly the same
as the password entered in the Password field.
The Add button adds the user configuration to the table. The Remove button removes a user configuration from
the table.
Authentication Type. Defines the user authentication methods. Combinations of all the authentication methods
can be selected. The possible field values are:
• Local. Authenticates the user at the device level. The device checks the user name and password for
authentication.
• RADIUS. Authenticates the user at the RADIUS server.
• TACACS+. Authenticates the user at the TACACS+ server.
