5Select the authentication method(s) in the Available RADIUS Server Groups list and click Add.

An authentication method specifies where the switch will look for user information to authenticate users. You can select a RADIUS server group, LOCAL (the switch’s local user database), or both.

MSS tries the methods in the order they appear in the Current RADIUS Server Groups list. To reorder the methods, select a method and click Up or Down.

„If you specify a RADIUS server group as the first method and a user is denied access by the RADIUS server, no authentication and authorization are attempted with the other methods specified in the list.

„If you specify LOCAL as the first method and a user is not in the local user database on the WX, authentication and authorization are attempted with a RADIUS server group if one is defined in the method list.

The authentication methods you select are also used for authorization.
