LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Authentication | Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users accessing the |
| Switch. |
|
|
Privilege Enable | These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second and third) |
| to authenticate access privilege level for administrator accounts (users for Switch |
| management). |
| Configure the access privilege of accounts via commands (see the CLI Reference |
| Guide) for local authentication. The TACACS+ and RADIUS are external servers. |
| Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding |
| database correctly first. |
| You can specify up to three methods for the Switch to authenticate the access |
| privilege level of administrators. The Switch checks the methods in the order you |
| configure them (first Method 1, then Method 2 and finally Method 3). You must |
| configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the Switch to check other |
| sources for access privilege level specify them in Method 2 and Method 3 fields. |
| Select local to have the Switch check the access privilege configured for local |
| authentication. |
| Select radius or tacacs+ to have the Switch check the access privilege via the |
| external servers. |
