Local User Accounts
By storing user profiles locally on the Switch, your Switch is able to authenticate and authorize users
without interacting with a network AAA server. However, there is a limit on the number of users you may
authenticate in this way.
RADIUS
RADIUS is a security protocol used to authenticate users by means of an external server instead of (or in
addition to) an internal device user database that is limited to the memory capacity of the device. In
essence, RADIUS authentication allows you to validate an unlimited number of users from a central
location.
25.2 AAA Screens
The
AAA
screens allow you to enable authentication and authorization or both of them on the Switch.
First, configure your authentication server settings and then set up the authentication priority, activate
authorization.
