RADIUS Client
RADIUS is a client/server-based protocol. A RADIUS server maintains a user database, which
contains per-user authentication information, such as user name, password and accounting
information.
For more information, see "Configuring RADIUS Global Parameters".
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a device. SSH version
1 is currently available. The SSH server feature enables an SSH client to establish a secure,
encrypted connection with a device. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an
inbound telnet connection. SSH uses RSA Public Key cryptography for device connections and
authentication.
TACACS+
TACACS+ provides centralized security for validation of users accessing the device. TACACS+
provides a centralized user management system, while still retaining consistency with RADIUS and
other authentication processes.
For more information, see "Defining TACACS+ Settings".
