Description
Use the authentication command to configure an authentication scheme for current
ISP domain.
Use the undo authentication command to restore the default authentication scheme
of current domain.
By default, no separate authentication scheme is configured.
Before you use the authentication command to specify a RADIUS scheme to be
referenced by current ISP domain, the RADIUS scheme must has already been
configured.
If you execute the authentication radius-scheme radius-scheme-name local
command, the local scheme is used as the secondary authentication scheme in case
the RADIUS server does not respond normally. That is, if the communication between
the switch and the RADIUS server is normal, no local authentication is performed;
otherwise, local authentication is performed.
If you execute the authentication hwtacacs-scheme hwtacacs-scheme-name local
command, the local scheme is used as the secondary authentication scheme in case
the TACACS server does not respond normally. That is, if the communication
between the switch and the TACACS server is normal, no local authentication is
performed; otherwise, local authentication is performed.
If you execute the authentication local command, the local scheme is used as the
primary scheme. In this case, only local authentication is performed. If you execute
the authentication none command, no authentication is performed.
