Table 14: Authentication Profile Fields (Cont.)
Description
Use the menu to select the method that should appear first in the selected
authentication login list. User authentication occurs in the order the methods
are selected. Each method can be selected only once. Possible methods are as
follows:
• UNDEFINED: The authentication method is unspecified. This option is not
available for Method 1.
• ENABLE: Uses the enable password for authentication.
• LINE: Uses the Line password for authentication.
• LOCAL: The user's locally stored ID and password will be used for
authentication. Since the local method does not time out, if you select this
option as the first method, no other method will be tried, even if you have
specified more than one method.
• NONE: No authentication is used.
• RADIUS: The user's ID and password will be authenticated using the
RADIUS server(s) configured on the LAN > Security > RADIUS > RADIUS
Authentication Server Configuration page. If you have multiple RADIUS
servers configured, the switch will attempt to contact the primary RADIUS
server. If the primary RADIUS server fails, the switch automatically
attempts to contact a backup RADIUS server. If you select RADIUS or
TACACS+ as the first method and an error occurs during the
authentication, the switch uses Method 2 to authenticate the user.
• Tacacs+: The user's ID and password will be authenticated using the
TACACS+ server configured on the LAN > Security > TACACS+ >
Configuration page. If you select RADIUS or TACACS+ as the first method
and an error occurs during the authentication, the switch attempts user
authentication Method 2.
Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear second in the
selected authentication login list. This is the method that will be used if the
first method times out. If you select a method that does not time out as the
second method, the third method will not be tried.
Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear third in the
selected authentication login list.
Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear fourth in the
selected authentication login list.
Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear fifth in the
selected authentication login list.
Use the menu to select the method, if any, that should appear sixth in the
selected authentication login list.
