Authentication Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users accessing the Switch.
Login These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first and second) to authenticate
administrator accounts (users for Switch management).
Configure the local user accounts in the Access Control > Logins screen. The RADIUS is an
external server. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding

2). You must configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the Switch to check
another source for administrator accounts, specify them in the Method 2 field.
