configuration configuration
An 802.1x user uses the domain name to associate with the ISP domain configured on the device.
Configure the AAA scheme (a local authentication scheme, a RADIUS scheme or a HWTACACS
scheme) to be adopted in the ISP domain.
If you specify to use a local authentication scheme, you need to configure the user names and
passwords manually on the device. Users can pass the authentication through iNode client if they
provide user names and passwords that match those configured on the device.
If you specify to adopt the RADIUS scheme, users are authenticated by a remote RADIUS server.
In this case, you need to configure user names and passwords on the RADIUS server and perform
RADIUS client-related configuration on the device.
If you specify to adopt the HWTACACS scheme, users are authenticated by a remote TACACS
server. In this case, you need to configure user names and passwords on the TACACS server and
perform HWTACACS client-related configuration on the device.
You can also specify to adopt the RADIUS or HWTACACS authentication scheme, with a local
authentication scheme as a backup. In this case, the local authentication scheme is adopted when
the RADIUS server or the TACACS server fails.
Refer to the AAA Operation Manual for detailed information about AAA scheme configuration.
