Command Usage
• RADIUS uses UDP which only offers best-effort del ivery. Also,
note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the
access-request packet from the client to the server.
• RADIUS logon authentication assigns a specific privilege level
for each user name and password pair. The user name,
password, and privilege level must be configured on the
authentication server.
• You can specify two authentication methods in a single
command to indicate the authentication sequence. For
example, if you enter “authentication login radius local,”
the user name and password on the RADIUS server is verified
first. If the RADIUS server is not available, then the local user
name and password is checked.
