LABEL DESCRIPTION
Login These fields specify which database the OLT should use (first, second and third) to authenticate
administrator accounts (users for OLT management).
Configure the local user accounts in the Access Control > Logins screen. The RADIUS is a
external server. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
You can specify up to three methods for the OLT to authenticate administrator accounts. The
OLT checks the methods in the order you configure them (first Method 1, and finally Method 2).
You must configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the OLT to check other
sources for administrator accounts, specify them in the Method 2 field.
Select local to have the OLT check the administrator accounts configured in the Access
Control > Logins screen.
Select radius to have the OLT check the administrator accounts configured via your RADIUS
server.
Authorization Use this section to configure authorization settings on the OLT.

• Exec: Allow an administrator which logs into the OLT through Telnet or SSH to have a
different access privilege level assigned via the external server.
• Dot1x: Allow an IEEE 802.1x client to have different bandwidth limit or VLAN ID assigned via
the external server.

This is only valid if you select the start-stop option for the Exec or Dot1x entries.

• System - Configure the OLT 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 system to send information when an administrator logs in and logs out
via the console port, Telnet or SSH.
• Commands: Configure the system to send information when commands of specified
privilege level and higher are executed on the system.
• Dot1x - Configure the OLT to send information when an IEEE 802.1x client begins a session
(authenticates via the OLT), ends a session as well as interim updates of a session.
Active Select this to activate accounting for a specified event types.
Broadcast Select this to have the OLT send accounting information to all configured accounting servers
at the same time.
If you don't select this and you have two accounting servers set up, then the OLT sends

server then it tries the second accounting server.
