indicate the authentication sequence. For example, if you enter
“
authentication enable 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.

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.
