Authentication and authorization
Administrators can configure each switch either to use local user databases on
the switch or to use databases on an LDAP server for user authentication and
authorizations checking. Local authentication is always used, either as the
primary authentication method or as a fallback method when LDAP
authentication is configured.
The switch can be configured to use LDAP for authentication only with the local
databases used for authorizations checking.
After users log in to a switch, the software caches their credentials (user name
and password) for the duration of the session.

System components

The software contains the following major components.
Explorer
The Explorer is the primary point of control for accessing the software features
and functionality. From the Explorer, you can view the switches and target
devices defined in the local database. Built-in groupings such as Appliances and
Devices provide different ways to list units. You can create custom groups of units
by adding and naming folders. Other groupings are also available, based on
custom fields that you can assign to units.
