List Name

The method list name. A method list is a sequential list describing the
authentication methods to be queried in order to authenticate a user.

Method 1

The method that the router will attempt first. If one of the servers in this method
authenticates the user (sends a PASS response), authentication is successful. If a
server returns a FAIL response, authentication fails. If no servers in the first
method respond, then the router uses the next method in the list. Me thods can be
ordered when you create or edit a method list.

Method 2, 3, and 4

The methods that the router will use if the servers referenced in method 1 do not
respond. If there are fewer than four methods, the positions for which no list has
been configured are kept empty.
Authentication NAC
The Authentication NAC window displays the EAPoUDP method lists configured
on the router. If the NAC wizard has been used to create a NAC configuration on
the router, this window contains the following entry:
default group SDM_NAC_Group
You can specify additional method lists in this window if you want the router to
attempt the methods that you enter before resorting to the default method list.
Add, Edit, and Delete Buttons
Use these buttons to create, edit, and remove method lists.
