For local authentication, you must also create local user accounts (including usernames and
passwords), and specify the lan-access service for local users.

For RADIUS authentication, make sure the device and the RADIUS server can reach each other,
and create user accounts on the RADIUS server. If you are using MAC-based accounts, make
sure the username and password for each account are the same as the MAC address of each
MAC authentication user.
2. Make sure the port security feature is disabled. For more information about port security, see
