Configuring authentication-method lists
The snmp-server | web-server | enable | login | dot1x parameter specifies the type of access this
authentication-method list controls. You can configure one authentication-method list for each
type of access.
NOTE
If you configure authentication for Web management access, authentication is performed each time
a page is requested from the server. When frames are enabled on the Web management interface,
the browser sends an HTTP request for each frame. The Brocade device authenticates each HTTP
request from the browser. To limit authentications to one per page, disable frames on the Web
management interface.
NOTE
TACACS/TACACS+ and RADIUS are not supported with the snmp-server parameter.
The <method1> parameter specifies the primary authentication method. The remaining optional
<method> parameters specify additional methods to try if an error occurs with the primary method.
A method can be one of the values listed in the Method Parameter column in
