Device level security is an authentication process between internetworking devices, in which
authentication takes place automatically. Both bridges and routers support this form of
security.Device level security is available to the network locally through the On-node Device
Database or remotely through the Connection Services Manager (CSM) or RADIUS Server.
This chapter provides information for enabling and configuring the on-node device database, and
enabling an off-node database location. If an off-node database location is specified, refer to the
chapter
