Chapter 38: TACACS+ and RADIUS Commands
548
DISABLE AUTHENTICATION
Syntax
disable authentication
Parameters
None.
Description
Use this command to disable TACACS+ and RADIUS manager account
authentication on your switch. When you disable authentication you
retain your current authentication parameter settings.
Note
This command applies only to TACACS+ and RADIUS manager
accounts. Once disabled, you must use the default manager
accounts of “manager” and “operator” to manage the switch.
This command does not affect 802.1x port-based access control. If
you are using the RADIUS authentication protocol for port-based
access control but not for manager account authentication, you can
leave authentication disabled and the switch will still be able to
access the RADIUS configuration information for 802.1x port-based
access control.
Example
The following command disables TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication
on your switch:
disable authentication
