Configuring the Authentication Client Software

To configure the TACACS+ and RADIUS client software settings, perform

Note

Option 1 - Server-based Authentication applies only to the manager
account feature described in this chapter. The menu option does
not apply to the 802.1x port-based access control feature. If this
option is disabled, the switch uses its standard Manager and
Operator accounts when you log on to manage the switch. If
enabled, the switch uses the manager accounts on the TACACS+ or
RADIUS server. If you want to disable the manager account feature,
toggle the menu option until it displays Disabled, which is the
default setting. Disabling Option 1 does not effect the 802.1x port-
based access control feature.

3. To select an authentication protocol, type 2 to select Authentication

Method. The following prompt is displayed:

Enter T-TACACS+, R-RADIUS ->

4. Type T to select TACACS+ or R for RADIUS. The default is TACACS+.

Only one protocol can be active on the switch at a time.

If you selected TACACS+, go to Step 5. If you selected RADIUS, go
to Step 6.
