Menu Login Procedure with RADIUS

When connecting to a system, the SCU presents a login prompt. Refer to "DLP-716,
to the System" for detailed procedures.
If RADIUS authentication is enabled, the SCU contacts the provisioned RADIUS server(s) and
validates the login/password combination. It is possible that the server will respond with a
challenge request (as established by network administration). If so, a challenge message is
displayed on the screen and a challenge prompt is made available. A correct response to the
challenge will result in a completed login to the MX2820 system.
If a RADIUS challenge is not issued, immediate access is provided to the MX2820 Main Menu.
In the event that the RADIUS server can not be contacted, the local list of users stored in the
SCU is accessed for authentication.
If RADIUS is the preferred method of authentication, the list of
users in the SCU can be disabled or deleted.

Login Problems

Should an authentication attempt with RADIUS fail, or an administrative password be
forgotten, ADTRAN provides a failsafe method to gain access. Refer to "DLP-716,
the System" for detailed procedures.
