Security / Switch / Auth Method
This page allows you to configure how a user is authenticated when he logs into the
switch via one of the management client interfaces.
The table has one row for each client type and a number of columns, which are:
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 TACACS server for authentication.
Fallback
Enable fallback to local authentication by checking this box.
If none of the configured authentication servers are alive, the local user database is
used for authentication.
This is only possible if the Authentication Method is set to a value other than 'none'
or 'local'.
