Configuring Authentication

To disable  authentication, perform this task in privileged mode:

This example shows how to disable authentication for console and Telnet connections and 
how to verify the configuration:

Console> (enable) set authentication login tacacs disable

tacacs login authentication set to disable for console and telnet session.

Console> (enable) set authentication enable tacacs disable

tacacs enable authentication set to disable for console and telnet session.

Console> (enable) show authentication

Configuring RADIUS Authentication

The following sections describe how to configure RADIUS authentication on the switch.

Specifying RADIUS Servers

To specify one or more RADIUS servers, perform this task in privileged mode:

Task

Command

Step 1

Disable authentication for normal login 
mode. Use the console or telnet keywords if you 
want to disable  only for console port or 
Telnet connection attempts.

set authentication login tacacs disable [all | 
console | http | telnet]

Step 2

Disable authentication for enable mode. 
Use the console or telnet keywords if you want to 
disable  only for console port or Telnet 
connection attempts.

set authentication enable tacacs disable [all | 
console | http | telnet]

Step 3

Verify the  configuration.

show authentication

Task

Command

Step 1

Specify the IP address of up to three RADIUS 
servers. Specify the primary server using the 
primary keyword. Optionally, specify the 
destination UDP port to use on the server.

set radius server ip_addr [auth-port 
port_number] [primary]

Step 2

Verify the RADIUS server configuration.
