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 Section 45.7 on

 

page 328) 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.
