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 (see the
	Ethernet Switch 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.
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 check the administrator accounts
	configured via the RADIUS Server.
