LABEL DESCRIPTION

Switch.

Guide) for local authentication. The and RADIUS are external servers.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.

privilege level of administrators. The Switch checks the methods in the order you
configure them (first Method 1 , then Method 2 and finally Method 3 ). You must
configure the settings in the Method 1 field. If you want the Switch to check other
sources for access privilege level specify them in Method 2 and Method 3 fields.
Select local to have the Switch check the access privilege configured for local
authentication.
