DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide
441
The sequence of methods implemented in this command affects the
authentication result. For example, if a user enters a sequence of
methods like
– radius – local_enable,
the Switch sends an
authentication request to the first
host in the server
group. If no verification is found, the Switch sends an authentication
request to the second
host in the server group and so on,
until the list is exhausted. At that point, the Switch restarts the same
sequence with the following protocol listed,
radius
. If no
authentication takes place using the
radius
list, the
local_enable
password set in the Switch is used to authenticate the user.
Successful authentication using any of these methods gives the user
an ‘Admin’ level privilege.
