Dial-in User Configuration Overview

The Dial-in User Configuration feature allows you to add, delete, and
modify dial-in users to the AT-GS950 switch. In addition, you must assign
each dial-in user to a VLAN. See Chapter 10, “Virtual LANs” on page 101
for more information about VLANs and VIDs.

The purpose of the Dial-in User feature in local mode is to configure user
authentication data when 802.1x ports are operating in local mode. In the
local mode, the switch uses its own authentication data to authenticate a
user.

Note

In local mode, the switch does not authenticate through a RADIUS
server.

To configure a system administrator or set user information for the switch,
see Chapter 3, “Basic Switch Parameters” on page 33.
