LABEL DESCRIPTION
Login These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second and third) to
authenticate administrator accounts (users for Switch management).
Configure the local user accounts in the Access Control > Logins 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 Switch to authenticate administrator accounts.
The Switch 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 Switch to check other sources for administrator accounts, specify them in
Method 2 and Method 3 fields.
Select local to have the Switch check the administrator accounts configured in the Access
Control > Logins screen.
Select radius to have the Switch check the administrator accounts configured via your
RADIUS server.
Select tacacs+ to have the Switch check the administrator accounts configured via your
TACACS+ server.
Authorization Use this section to configure authorization settings on the Switch.
Type Set whether the Switch provides the following services to a user.
• Exec: Allow an administrator which logs into the Switch 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.
Active Select this to activate authorization for a specified event types.
Console Select this to allow an administrator which logs in the Switch through the console port to
have different access privilege level assigned via the external server.
Method Select whether you want to use RADIUS or TACACS+ for authorization of specific types of
events.
RADIUS is the only method for IEEE 802.1x authorization.
Accounting Use this section to configure accounting settings on the Switch.
Update Period This is the amount of time in minutes before the Switch sends an update to the accounting
server. This is only valid if you select the start-stop option for the Exec or Dot1x entries.
Type The Switch supports the following types of events to be sent to the accounting server(s):
• System - Configure the Switch 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 Switch to send information when an administrator logs in and logs
out via the console port, telnet or SSH.
• Dot1x - Configure the Switch to send information when an IEEE 802.1x client begins a
session (authenticates via the Switch), ends a session as well as interim updates of a
session.
• Commands - Configure the Switch to send information when commands of specified
privilege level and higher are executed on the Switch.
Active Select this to activate accounting for a specified event types.
Broadcast Select this to have the Switch 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 Switch sends
information to the first accounting server and if it doesn't get a response from the
accounting server then it tries the second accounting server.
