Figure 2-4.1.3: The Authentication Method Configuration
Parameter description:

Client :
The management client for which the configuration below applies.

Authentication Method :
Authentication Method can be set to one of the following values:

none : authentication is disabled and login is not possible.

local : use the local user database on the switch for authentication.

radius : use a remote RADIUS server for authentication.

: use a remote server for authentication.
Methods that involves remote servers are timed out if the remote servers are offline. In this
case the next method is tried. Each method is tried from left to right and continues until a
method either approves or rejects a user. If a remote server is used for primary
authentication it is recommended to configure secondary authentication as 'local'. This will
enable the management client to login via the local user database if none of the configured
authentication servers are alive.
