9.13.2 Authentication Settings
Authentication Settings is designed to specify local or remote authentication mechanism.
Local authentication manages access authority by using the user name and password set on
switch manually. Remote Authentication manages access authority by using Remote Access
Authentication Server based on RADIUS protocol.
If using remote authentication server, the user must set the related parameters for the
authentication methods of RADIUS and group, if there are multiple RADIUS servers,
the authentication order depends on the time of configuring server. It will go to the
next authentication server only when the current authentication server fails.
Users can choose from four methods of authentication: none, local, RADIUS and
group.
The order depends on the time of configuring command. It will go to the next authentication
method only when the current authentication fails.
