You can configure the console server to the default (Local) or using an alternate authentication method (TACACS, RADIUS, or LDAP). Optionally, you can select the order in which local and remote authentication is used:

Local TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP: Tries local authentication first, falling back to remote if local fails.

TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP Local: Tries remote authentication first, falling back to local if remote fails.

TACACS /RADIUS/LDAP Down Local: Tries remote authentication first, falling back to local if the remote authentication returns an error condition (for example, if the remote authentication server is down or inaccessible).

9.1.1Local authentication

Select Serial and Network: Authentication and check Local.

Click Apply.

9.1.2TACACS authentication

Perform the following procedure to configure the TACACS+ authentication method to use whenever the console server or any of its serial ports or hosts is accessed:
