LABEL DESCRIPTION
Authentication Use this section to specify the methods used to authenticate users accessing the
Switch.
Privilege Enable These fields specify which database the Switch should use (first, second and third)
to authenticate access privilege level for administrator accounts (users for Switch
management).
Configure the access privilege of accounts via commands (See
Section 44.7 on
page 336 ) for local authentication. The TACACS+ and RADIUS are external
servers. Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the
corresponding database correctly first.
You can specify up to three methods for the Switch to authenticate the access
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.
Select radius or tacacs+ to have the Switch check the access privilege via the
external servers.
