Local
—The switch performs local authentication of a remote supplicant
based on EAP-MD5. The supplicant identification must be one of the
management users configured on the switch (see
Managing User
Accounts
).
•
RADIUS
—The switch depends on one or more external RADIUS servers to
perform the authentication. You must configure the supplicant identity and
authentication directly the servers. (See
RADIUS
for information.)
•
RADIUS, None
—The switch depends on one or more external RADIUS
servers to perform the authentication. (See description of RADIUS above.) If
the switch cannot reach any servers, then no authentication is used.
•
RADIUS, Local
—The switch depends on one or more external RADIUS
servers to perform the authentication (see description of RADIUS above.) If
the switch cannot reach any servers, it performs the authentication locally
(see previous description of Local).
NOTE
When the (Radius, None) or the (Radius, Local) option is selected,
None or Local is used only if the Radius Server specified is incorrect or it is
not specified; if it is correct, but the credentials are incorrect, the
authentication fails and does not fall back to the None or the Local option.
