RADIUS Client
– 198 –
RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request packet from
the client to the server, while encrypts the entire body of the
packet.
◆ RADIUS and logon authentication assigns a specific privilege
level for each user name and password pair. The user name, password,
and privilege level must be configured on the authentication server.
◆ You can specify three authentication methods in a single command to
indicate the authentication sequence. For example, if you enter
“
authentication login radius tacacs local ,” the user name and password
on the RADIUS server is verified first. If the RADIUS server is not
available, then authentication is attempted on the server. If the
server is not available, the local user name and password is
checked.
Example
Console(config)#authentication login radius
Console(config)#

RADIUS Client
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a logon
authentication protocol that uses software running on a central server to
control access to RADIUS-aware devices on the network. An authentication
server contains a database of multiple user name/password pairs with
associated privilege levels for each user or group that require management
access to a switch.
