Access Control
System Plus
() are
logon authentication protocols that use software running on a central
server to control access to RADIUS-aware or TACACS -aware devices on
the network. An authentication server contains a database of multiple user
name/password pairs with associated privilege levels for each user that
requires management access to the switch.
RADIUS uses UDP while uses TCP. UDP only offers best
effort delivery, while TCP offers a connection-oriented transport. Also,
note that RADIUS encrypts only the password in the access-request
packet from the client to the server, while encrypts the entire
body of the packet.
Command Usage
•
By default, management access is always checked against the
authentication database stored on the local switch. If a remote
authentication server is used, you must specify the authentication
sequence and the corresponding parameters for the remote
authentication protocol. Local and remote logon authentication
control management access via the console port, web browser, or
Telnet.
•
RADIUS and logon authentication assign a specific
privilege level for each user name/password pair. The user name,
password, and privilege level must be configured on the authentication
server.
