SET AUTHENTICATION

Syntax

set authentication method=tacacsradius [secret=string] [timeout=value]

Parameters
method	Specifies which authenticator protocol, TACACS+ or
	RADIUS, is to be the active protocol on the switch.
secret	Specifies the global encryption key that is used by
	the TACACS+ or RADIUS servers. If the servers use
	different encryption keys, you can leave this
	parameter blank and set individual encryption keys
	with ADD TACACSSERVER on page 545 or ADD
	RADIUSSERVER on page 543.
timeout	Specifies the maximum amount of time the switch
	waits for a response from an authentication server
	before the switch assumes the server will not
	respond. If the timeout expires and the server has
	not responded, the switch queries the next server in
	the list. Once the switch has exhausted the list of
	servers, the switch defaults to the standard Manager
	and Operator accounts. The default is 10 seconds.
	The range is 1 to 60 seconds.
Description
