DESCRIPTION
Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users accessing the
system.
These fields specify which database the system should use (first, second and third)
to authenticate administrator accounts (users for system management).
Configure the local user accounts in the Sys > User Account screen. The
TACACS+ and RADIUS are external servers. 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 system to authenticate administrator
accounts. The system checks the methods in the order you configure them (first
Method 1, then Method 2 and finally Method 3). You must configure the settings in
the Method 1 field. If you want the system to check other sources for administrator
accounts, specify them in Method 2 and Method 3 fields.
Select local to have the system check the administrator accounts configured in the
Sys > User Account screen.
Select radius to have the system check the administrator accounts configured via
your RADIUS server.
Select tacacs+ to have the system check the administrator accounts configured via
your TACACS+ server.
Use this section to configure accounting settings on the system.
This is the amount of time in minutes before the system sends an update to the
accounting server. This is only valid if you select the start-stop option for the Exec
entries.
The system supports the following types of events to be sent to the accounting
server(s):
System: Configure the system 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.
