Authentication Protocol
In addition to local authentication where the usernames and passwords reside on each individual
FastSwitch device, FastSwitch can be configured for authentication. This capability
supports the CISCO protocol for authentication between the FastSwitch device and the
server. When is enabled, the server becomes the central point
for managing network-wide usernames and passwords. This is especially useful when provisioning
FastSwitch devices in large networks.
usernames and passwords are authenticated for all access methods: craft, Telnet, and
HTTP. You must be logged in with ADMIN privileges to access FastSwitch’s
commands.
