Description
The management client for which the configuration below applies.
Authentication Method can be set to one of the following values:
None: authentication is disabled and login is not possible.
■
Local: use the local user database on the switch for
■
authentication.
RADIUS: use a remote RADIUS server for authentication.
■
TACACS+: use a remote TACACS+ server for authentication.
■
Methods that involve remote servers are timed out if the remote
servers are offline. In this case the next method is tried. Each method is
tried from left to right and continues until a method either approves or
rejects a user. If a remote server is used for primary authentication it is
recommended to configure secondary authentication as 'local'. This will
enable the management client to login via the local user database if
none of the configured authentication servers are alive.
