AAA Servers Supported by the NXC5200
The following lists the types of authentication server the NXC5200 supports.
• Local user database
The NXC5200 uses the built-in local user database to authenticate administrative users logging
into the NXC5200's Web Configurator or network access users logging into the network through
the NXC5200.
• Directory Service (LDAP/AD)
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)/AD (Active Directory) is a directory service that is
both a directory and a protocol for controlling access to a network. The directory consists of a
database specialized for fast information retrieval and filtering activities. You create and store
user profile and login information on the external server.
• RADIUS
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authentication is a popular protocol used
to authenticate users by means of an external or built-in RADIUS server. RADIUS authentication
allows you to validate a large number of users from a central location.
Note: Because the NXC5200 has an internal authentication database, you can create local
login accounts on it without needing to rely on an external authentication server.
The built-in authentication server supports PEAP/EAP-TLS/EAP-TTLS.
