Field Description
User Database Specifies which user database to use:
• None: (Default) Does not use a user database or logins. Legacy
switches use this method.
• Internal: Uses the internal user database.
• RADIUS: Uses a RADIUS server on your local area network for
user authentication.
• TACACS+: Uses a TACACS+ server on your local area network
for user authentication.
Note: If your RADIUS or TACACS+ server goes down, you can still
access the switch through the
admin account, which acts as a
local administrator. For more information, see User Database
Concepts on page 11.
Default New User Level Specifies the default permission, or access level, for new
user accounts:
• Guest: Users with this permission level have read-only access.
This is the lowest permission level.
• Operator: Users with this permission level can do all that Guest-
level users can do, plus patch ports using only preset
configurations.
• Advanced Operator: Users with this permission level can do all
that Operator-level users can do, plus patch ports on an ad-hoc
basis, change rates and port names, plus save configuration
settings (“presets”).
• Administrator: Users with this permission level do everything
that the other levels do, plus set switch, blade, port, and other
information as well as set and clear user and security
information. This is the highest permission level.
These options are available only if User Database is set to
Internal, RADIUS, or TACACS+.
Numeric IP
(blank for none): Specifies the IP address for the specified RADIUS or TACACS+
server on your local area network that contains the user database.
