tion, and the RADIUS server is used for user authorization.

Authenticated VLANs

For authenticated VLANs, authentication servers contain a database of user names and passwords, chal-

lenges/responses, and other authentication criteria such as time-of-day access. The Authenticated VLAN

attribute is required on servers set up in multiple authority mode.

Servers may be configured using one of two different modes, single authority mode or multiple authority

mode. The mode specifies how the servers are set up for authentication: single authority mode uses a

single list (an authentication server and any backups) to poll with authentication requests. Multiple author-

ity mode uses multiple lists, one list for each authenticated VLAN. For more information about authority

modes and Authenticated VLANs, see
