LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Authentication | Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users |
| accessing the Switch. |
|
|
Privilege | These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second |
Enable | and third) to authenticate access privilege level for administrator |
| accounts (users for Switch management). |
| Configure the access privilege of accounts via commands 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. |
|
|
Login | These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second |
| and third) to authenticate administrator accounts (users for Switch |
| management). |
| Configure the local user accounts in the Access Control > Logins |
| screen. 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 |
| administrator accounts. 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 administrator accounts, specify them in |
| Method 2 and Method 3 fields. |
| Select local to have the Switch check the administrator accounts |
| configured in the Access Control > Logins screen. |
| Select radius to have the Switch authenticate the administrator |
| accounts through a RADIUS server. |
| Select tacacs+ to have the Switch authenticate the administrator |
| accounts through a TACACS+ server. |
|
|
Accounting | Use this section to configure accounting settings on the Switch. |
|
|
Update Period | This is the amount of time in minutes before the Switch sends an update |
| to the accounting server. This is only valid if you select the |
| option for the Exec or Dot1x entries. |
