Figure 9-6 Login Authentication Configuration Elements

Remote RADIUS servers

When Login authentication is enabled, authentication is required when the user attempts Monitor mode access to the SN 5428-2by attempting to establish a CLI command session.

The login process prompts the user for a user name andpass word, which are passed to AAA for authentication.

AAAuses the default authentication list to determine which services to use for the authentication attempt.

If authentication fails, the login request is refused and the user cannot obtain Monitor mode access to the SN 5428-2.
